Abstract

At chest radiography performed for recurrent pneumonia in a 3-month-old boy, an air-fluid level in the right cardiophrenic angle was found and initially perceived as a lung abscess. Upper gastrointestinal tract radiographs, however, revealed a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which was successfully repaired.
