AbstractWe present the case of a 17-year old male patient with a symptomatic congenital posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia with acute onset of symptoms. He was admitted to our emergency department a few days after the onset of symptoms. A large thoracic herniation on the left side was seen on chest X-ray. Further investigation by computed tomography showed the presence of stomach, spleen and colon in the herniation. Semi-urgent surgery was performed by a laparoscopic approach. The diaphragmatic defect was closed with interrupted sutures. The operation and postoperative recovery were uneventful.
