We report a case, of a 7-year-old-girl with a late-presenting Bochdale
k hernia. The postoperative course was complicated by splenic torsion
and subsequent total splenic infarction. Total splenic infarction due
to splenic torsion has been reported in children with ''wandering sple
en'' and in incarcerated Bochdalek hernias, but to our knowledge, not
as a postoperative complication of Bochdalek hernia repair.
