  • Title: Late-appearing diaphragmatic hernia following resolution of right pleural effusion.
    Author: Bar-Oz B, Fields SI, Peleg O, Udassin R, Arad I.
    Journal: Acta Paediatr; 1997 Apr; 86(4):431-3. PubMed ID: 9174235.
    Abstract:
    A case of late-appearing congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a premature infant with previously normal chest X-ray is reported. Pleural effusion accumulation and resolution preceded herniation of the liver to the right hemithorax and development of respiratory symptoms. Chest X-ray, ultrasound and computed tomography of the chest were useful in establishing the correct diagnosis. Pleural effusion without obvious cause should alert the paediatrician to the possibility of this rare condition.
