Abstract:

Background: Chest X-rays are done routinely on many indications broadcasting from infective, non-infective to fitness issues. Underestimating the importance of chest X-ray in clinical diagnosis is failure of a treating physician. Case Report: Here we are reporting a case of diaphragmatic hernia in a middle aged lady who remained unfit for general anesthesia for her cholecystectomy because she had a lesion on chest X-ray and was labeled as pneumonia/lung abscess and got unsuccessfully treated for a long time. Conclusion: Our case report highlighted that things become so complicated, if we close the options of rethinking. Lateral CXR has its own significance in many cases and its interpretation also a need of time.
