Abstract

A diaphragmatic hernia is a condition characterized by a communication between the abdominal and thoracic cavities, with or without abdominal contents in the thorax. Diaphragmatic hernia with intestinal occlusion is rare and presents a significant diagnostic challenge that requires accurate and timely diagnosis for effective management. This article discusses the importance of various imaging modalities in diagnosing diaphragmatic hernia, particularly in identifying intestinal occlusion. Early recognition of this condition is crucial to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.
