From: Right-sided Bochdalek hernia in an elderly adult: a case report with a review of surgical management
Radiographic images of the adult right-sided Bochdalek hernia prior to surgery. a Chest X-ray showed intestinal gas over the liver and an elevated right hemi-diaphragm (white arrow head). b A computed tomography (CT) scan of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated reduced contrast uptake and thickening of the herniated small intestinal wall. The herniated small intestine was present in the thorax (white arrow head). c CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis demonstrated herniation of the small intestine into the right thoracic cavity from the posterior surface overlying the right hepatic lobe (white arrow head). It also demonstrated reduced contrast uptake and thickening of the herniated small intestinal wall. The liver was not atrophic. d A sagittal sequence of CT scans confirmed herniation of the small intestine into the right thoracic cavity from the posterior surface overlying the right hepatic lobe (white arrow head). e A coronal sequence of CT scans also demonstrated herniation of the small intestine into the right thoracic cavity from the posterior surface overlying the right hepatic lobe (white arrow head). f CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis also demonstrated a torose lesion in the gallbladder (white arrow head)
