In this instance the diaphragm abnormality is characterized by a hole in the postero-lateral corner of the diaphragm which allows passage of the abdominal viscera into the chest cavity.
Bochdalek hernia is one of two forms of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, the other form being Morgagni hernia.A Bochdalek hernia is a congenital abnormality in which an opening exists in the infant's diaphragm, allowing normally intra-abdominal organs (particularly the stomach and intestines) to enter into the thoracic cavity.

Intestinal organs may herniate through several parts of the diaphragm , posterolateral (in Bochdalek's triangle (lumbocostal triangle), resulting in a Bochdalek hernia ), or anteromedial-retrosternal (in the cleft of ...
