An adult case of left diaphragmatic hernia of the liver

Abstract

A 44-year-old woman was pointed out having an abnormality on the left diaphragma on a chest radiography. Left diaphragmatic hernia of left lobe of the liver was confirmed by CT scan, liver scintigraphy and hepatic antiography. This hernia has been unchanged for approximately 7 years. This rare adult case suggests that non-traumatic liver herniation may occur even on the left diaphragma.
