Bochdalek hernia is a posterolateral diaphragmatic defect resulting from failure of the retroperitoneal canal membrane to fuse with the dorsal esophageal mesentery and the body wall. The location of the foramina of Bochdalek is defined by the location of the diaphragmatic coronary ligaments bilaterally. The herniation is termed "congenital.

Late presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia poses a considerable diagnostic challenge, since this diagnosis in the adult age is extremely rare; being mostly diagnosed during the neonatal period.

Bochdalek hernia is a type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia that primarily manifests in children. It is rare in adults and accounts for about 0.17% to 6% of all diaphragmatic hernias [ 1, 2 ]. Bochdalek hernia affects approximately 1 in 2200 to 12,500 live births and was first described by Vincent Alexander Bochdalek in 1848 [ 3 ].
