Abstract
The purpose of this article is to review the computed tomographic (CT) and related radiographic findings of adult Bochdalek hernias. Bochdal ek hernias are one of the most common congenital abnormalities encount ered in imaging studies of the chest and abdomen. CT can be used to co nfidently diagnose Bochdalek hernias, which can easily mimic neoplasms on other imaging studies.
