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