title: Cogenital intrapericardial herniation of liver.
abstract: Intrapericardial herniation of liver is a rare form of diaphragmatic hernia. We report a 30-hour old baby with right congenital anterior diaphragmatic hernia masquerading as congenital pneumonia with cardiomegaly. It is prudent to consider congenial anterior diaphragmatic hernia in any newborn with unexplained respiratory distress, cardiomegaly and pericardial effusion.
