This is a video clip of a left-sided diaphragmatic hernia with rather subtleĀ findings. They include:

  • Dextroposition of the heart (which is shifted to the right but appears normal)
  • An odd-shaped and odd-positioned stomach (no large stomach side by side with the heart in this case).
  • The scaphoid appearance of the lower abdomen -instead of "bulging out" the abdomen is depressed in !

This is the ultrasound image demonstrating the scaphoid appearance of the lower abdomen
