| description | A congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs because of embryologic defects in the diaphragm. Most patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernias present early rather than late in life, however, adults may present with a congenital hernia that was undetected during childhood.

The author reports a case of acquired diaphragmatic hernia in a three-year-old boy with a prolonged history of recurrent attacks of vomiting and abdominal pain associated with cough.
