Abstract
Bochdalek hernia (BH) is a posterolateral diaphragmatic congenital defect. Although most commonly diagnosed at birth, 0.17%-6% of cases can also be seen in adults.A third of the cases may contain abdominal organs like small bowel, kidney, or spleen.In our literature search, we only found 3 reported cases of urinary obstruction secondary to herniation of the renal pelvis through a BH. Here we describe a rare case of upper urinary tract obstruction caused by a BH successfully treated by laparoscopic surgery in our center.
