A chest X-ray, confirmed by thorax-abdominal CT-scan (Fig. 1), showed a probably diaphragmatic herniation of the left side; in the chest was present the malposition of the extremely dilated transverse and descending colon.
The transverse and left large bowel, as well as, the spleen appeared malpositioned in the left chest, in the presence of the lifting of hypoplastic left diaphragm indicated by the arrow, and not of the herniation through a diaphragmatic solution of continuity.
