Cribiform diaphragm: A Variant of congenital diaphragmatic herniation: A Case Report

Abstract

Herniation through a ‘cribriform’ diaphragm was incidentally detected in a 65-year-old woman. Liver tissue protruding into the right hemithorax showed signs of strangulation. The defects were surgically corrected. The condition presumably was an extremely rare variant of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
