ABSTRACT
Patients undergoing pneumonectomy can suffer by cardiovascular and respiratory postoperative complications that can affect patient's outcome by increasing morbidity and mortality. We describe a diaphragmatic hernia occurring after pneumonectomy. with late presentation and with epidural analgesia confusing the scenario suggesting that anesthesiologists should remain aware on this complication even in the late post operative period.
