Abstract
ABSTRACT
Delayed presentation of congenital diphragmatic hernia is a rare condition which
can present in later stage of life either with the nonspecific complains or acute
complians of shortness of breath. The clinical features and the radiological findings
can be confused with pneumothorax leading to inadvertant insertion of chest
tube. Immediate and accurate diagnosis of the condition is required for the better
outcome. Our case is an example of the condition where a patient presenting
with features similar to pneumotharax without history of trauma ,the diagnosis of
congenital diaphragmatic hernia should always be considerd.
