Am J Perinatol. 1993 Jul;10(4):319-22. doi: 10.1055/s-2007-994751.

Abstract

Unusual sonographic visualization of the interlobar fissure of the herniated fetal liver in a case of right congenital diaphragmatic hernia was misinterpreted as the right diaphragm leading to misdiagnosis of this fetal anomaly.
