Abstract
Diaphragmatic hernia in the absence of trauma is very rare in adults. The literature describes less than a dozen such cases of right-sided diaphragmatic hernia. Here we present an unusual case of this kind in an adult patient. The hernial contents were the stomach, spleen, pancreas and large bowel, all structures that, to date, have only been documented in left-sided diaphragmatic hernias. To our knowledge, this is the first published report of a case of this nature.
