<unk>  is one of two forms of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, the other form being Morgagni hernia. A<unk>  is a congenital abnormality in which an opening exists in the infant's diaphragm, allowing normally intra-abdominal organs (particularly the stomach and intestines) to enter into the thoracic cavity. In the majority of people, the affected lung will be deformed, and the resulting lung compression can be life-threatening.<unk> s occur more commonly on the posterior left side (85%, versus right side 15%).<unk> s are rare. This type of hernia was first described in 1754 by McCauley and subsequently studied and named after the Czech pathologist Vincenz Alexander<unk>  (1801–1883).
