Hernias of diaphragm, which are of two types, congenital or acquired, are often misdiagnosed as another pathology and this may lead to an inappropriate treatment. The three cases, that we study, had been treated with different diagnoses also, mainly for peptic ulcer disease. Then, because they had no benefit from these treatments, they applied our hospital. Because hernias of diaphragm are encountered rarely and the correct diagnosis leads to a correct treatment, we decided to publish these cases. [Journal of Turgut Ozal Medical Center 1997;4(1):99-102]
