The liver is indicated by the blue L, and the spleen by the blue S. The aortic arch and descending aorta are in red, the main and right pulmonary artery in light blue, the left atrium of the heart in yellow and the left kidney in green. This is another Bochdalek hernia, this time on the left. The nerve that supplies the diaphragm is the PHRENIC nerve, from C3,C4, and C5.
