Abstract
A case of agenesis or aplasia of the right lung, in a cyanos-ed neonate, exceptionally associated with a "vascular ring" abnormality produced by a right aortic arch, an aberrant left subclavian artery, and a patent ductus arteriosus, is reported. The presence of an abnormal lobe of the liver, projecting together with small gut and a subhepa-tic cecum into the right hemithorax, caused mediastinal displacement to the left side and produced the illusion of a diaphragmatic hernia, thereby obscuring the correct preoperative diagnosis.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
