Abstract
A 57-year-old man with no medical history and comorbidities presented to the outpatient clinic with a 2-week history of increasing cough and shortness of breath following a recent viral upper respiratory tract infection. Chest X-ray showed increased mediastinal opacity. A CT scan of the thorax was performed which revealed a large right-sided diaphragmatic hernia extending across the mediastinum to the left side of the chest. Repair was performed via combined transthoracic and transabdominal approaches.Entities:
