Answer: It's an abnormal opening in the diaphragm that is large enough for organs to move through it.

Explanation: A diaphragmatic hernia occurs when one or more of your abdominal organs move upward into your chest through a hole in the diaphragm. This hole is big enough that organs can pass through it and poke into the chest. This can make it difficult to breathe and prevents the lungs from fully developing.
