Özet
Bochdalek hernisi son derece nadir görülen bir patoloji olup, erişkin çağda görülmesi daha da nadir bir durumdur. Erişkin hastaların çoğu asemptomatik olup, bochdalek hernisi ve komplikasyonları sebebiyle acil servise başvuru yok denecek kadar azdır.Bu makalede ani gelişen solunum sıkıntısı ile acil servise başvurmuş, 81 yaşında kadın hastada bochdalek hernisi sunuyoruz.Nadir görülmesine rağmen, tanı almadığında mortal seyredebilecek bu durumun ayırıcı tanıda akılda tutulmasının önemini hatırlatmak isteriz.
