Abstract
Diaphragmatic hernias are either congenital or acquired defects in the diaphragm that permit passing of abdominal contents into the chest cavity. Individuals with large diaphragmatic hernias associated with a gastric perforation have rarely been reported in literature and can have serious mortality rates. Herein, we present a case of gastric perforation in the setting of a significant sized diaphragmatic hernia. The value of the current report compared to previously published cases is the sub-acute nature and lack of any indicative features on initial presentation which can lead to misdiagnosis and serious morbidity later in life.
