ABSTRACT
Mortality of congenital diaphragmatic hernia [CDH] remains high despite the progress in resuscitation assessment. The diagnosis can be difficult especially in the right side form. We report a liver diaphragmatic hernia which been erratically diagnosed as a right pleuropneumopathy. An intercostal drain was inserted into the hepatic parenchyma. The diagnosis was secondarily rectified after thoracic tomodensitometry. The diagnosis of CDH must be systematically evoked in new-borns or infants presenting respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms with chest X-ray abnormalities
