Acquired diaphragmatic hernias are rare and are often left sided because of the liver on the right side. These hernias can arise by iatrogenic mechanisms albeit much less encountered than those occurring as a result of trauma. These iatrogenic DH's most commonly occur after surgical procedures. We report a patient that presented with a large diaphragmatic hernia causing atelectasis of the right lung 2 years after hepatic resection.
