Abstract
A 13-year-old previously asymptomatic patient presented with abdominal pain and vomiting. Chest radiogram revealed a left intrathoracic stomach. Laparotomy confirmed a dilated, hypertrophic stomach herniating through a left Bochdalek hernia. The patient recovered after a period of prolonged gastric paresis. While highlighting the importance of considering this condition in the differential diagnosis of a cystic lesion in the chest, this article also postulates a mechanism for the hypertrophic gastric dilatation in a late presentation of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
