A 22-year-old woman presented with left subcostal pain and nausea. A radiograph and a computed tomographic scan of the chest revealed diaphragmatic hernia. Thoracoscopic surgery was performed. The herniated organs were put back into the peritoneal cavity and the hernial hilum was closed with interrupted silk suturing.
