Abstract
A 12-year-old girl who had had an operation for a posterolateral diaphragma tic hernia was admitted to the hospital because of enuresis. Physical exami nation and radiologic studies revealed the spleen behind the urinary bladde r, left-sided hydronephrosis, and a high volume of residual urine. The hydr onephrosis and residual urine resolved immediately following splenectomy.
