title: [Diaphragmatic hernia or hiatus hernia: a diagnostic problem in 5-month-old infant].
abstract: Authors present a case of a 5-month-old infant, in whom following an uneventful perinatal adaptation, symptoms of recurrent respiratory infections, vomiting and growth failure developed. Based on chest X-ray, right-sided diaphragmatic hernia was suspected. However, barium swallow examination delineated the stomach above the right diaphragm. The case report draws attention to the differential diagnostic difficulties between congenital diaphragmatic and hiatal hernia.
