Abstract in English, Spanish

Giant diaphragmatic hernias are frequently diagnosed in the intrauterine stage and are often incompatible with life if not treated. We report a rare case of a giant defect in an adult male associated with agenesis of the pericardium resolved by laparoscopy.

Keywords: congenital diaphragmatic hernias; giant hernia; pericardium.
