Abstract
Symptomatic cases of Bochdalek’s hernia are uncommon in adults; symptoms arise only due to complications. Most of symptomatic cases are related to a left-sided hernia. We describe the case of a 50-year-old woman with Bochdalek’s hernia containing duodenum and pancreas. The patient was successfully treated by a surgical approach.
