Abstract
BackgroundBochdalek hernia is the most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) resulting from postero-lateral diaphragmatic defect. Hepatic heterotopia is very rarely associated with CDH, and hepatic herniation favors the worst prognosis.Case presentationWe present a case of a neonate diagnosed with right Bochdalek hernia (BH) with anomalous hepatic lobe heterotopia. Intra operatively, mal-rotated loops were also found to be herniating in the right hemithorax. The mal-rotated loops were reduced back into abdomen after performing Ladd’s procedure and diaphragmatic defect was repaired over the anomalous liver lobe. Baby was discharged on 7th postoperative day and follow-ups showed good recovery.ConclusionThis case report discusses the presentation, classification, and significance of this association. Our case report is noteworthy as Bochdalek hernia is very rarely associated with anomalous hepatic lobe.

ConclusionThis case report discusses the presentation, classification, and significance of this association
Bochdalek hernia is the most common type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) resulting from postero-lateral diaphragmatic defect
The fact that the left postero-lateral diaphragm closes after the right side may explain why the majority (~ 90%) of Bochdalek hernias occur on the left side
