case_images: Upon no improvement, the patient revisited the ED where chest x-ray (CXR) as primary imaging modality was requested by surgeon on-call that showed raised right hemidiaphragm with no well discernible outlines, air-filled bowel loops above the hepatic shadow, a chilaiditi's sign, with no mediastinal shift (Fig. 1a), thus a provisional diagnosis of the right-sided diagrammatic hernia was made. Post-operative chest x-ray shows normal findings (Fig. 1b).
