Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is commonly present as Bochdalek hernias are usually asymptomatic but our patient present as gastrointestinal symptoms due to Chilaiditi’s syndromes. A patient was admitted with complain of abdominal pain with near normal routine investigation but flat plate x-ray shows diaphragmatic hernia with Chilaiditi’s sign. Pt was operated for this hernia and uneventful recovery was done. Bochdalek hernia with Chilaiditi’s signs is a rare in children’s and usually found asymptomatic and incidental finding, as our pt have GI symptoms so surgical correction is necessary. Here we operate the pt to prevent all these complication and done surgical repair of hernial defect by prolene 1/0 with prolene mesh reinforcement. Symptoms and clinical findings may vary from mild to severe GI problems so clinicians should consider in their routine practice to rule out chilaidaiti syndrome with Bochdalek hernia to avoid complication.
