“…When the chest X-ray images are not diagnostic, spiral CT and MRI will be our next selections, respectively, to acquire more information about the disease. In patients with Bochdalek hernia, the diaphragm is ruptured and there is a defect in it and the small intestine moves into thoracic cavity more than any other abdominal organs [5, 14]. In order to prevent the serious complications of CDH, surgical treatments should be used.…”

“…Choosing the best treatment method for repairing CDH has become a challenge among the surgeons. Some of them support thoracotomy as the best treatment option because the chest is probably attached to hernia sac [14], while some others believe that laparotomy is better than thoracotomy for dealing with possible complications such as malrotation, obstruction, strangulation, and perforation of abdominal viscera [15]. Furthermore, in some cases, surgical techniques with minimal invasion such as thoracoscopy and laparoscopy are used to repair Bochdalek hernia [16].…”

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is caused due to abnormal formation of the muscular parts of diaphragm. The incidence of CDH in common births ranges from 1/25000 to 1/30000. Pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension are factors that associate with the increase of mortality and morbidity due to CDH. We presented a 68-year-old Iranian woman with abdominal pain and tenderness in right upper quadrant who was diagnosed as having CDH. The disease was detected using chest X-ray and chest and abdomen sonography and confirmed with chest and abdomen CT scan with and without oral contrast. A defect was revealed in posterolateral right diaphragm with omentum and transverse colon herniated through it. Right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed to cure the disease. CT and CXR were the two useful methods in diagnosis of CDH in this patient, although CDH detection prior to surgery is too challenging because of rare cases and different types of CDH. In order to improve clinical cares in adult CDH patients, investigating more cases and long term follow-up are recommended.

“…Many surgeons prefer a thoracotomy for easy separation of adhesions between the thoracic contents and the hernia sac, although in BH, the presence of a sac is not the rule. 5 We preferred to use a thoracoabdominal incision to increase the viewing angle and allow simultaneous access to both cavities because there were multiple organs attached to the thoracic wall, the diaphragmatic defect was rather large, and there was a need to evaluate the abdominal organs. Cases presenting with a lesser degree of pulmonary hypoplasia may show better radiological and prognostic results.…”

Bochdalek diaphragmatic hernia is generally congenital and rarely diagnosed incidentally in adults. A 21-year-old man presented with a diaphragmatic hernia suspected during routine examination. Chest radiography showed the colon and small intestine herniating into the left hemithorax and the ileocecal appendix in the superior thoracic apertura. We performed a thoracoabdominal incision and the stomach, omentum, colon, and small intestine were retracted back into the abdomen. The diaphragm was repaired with Prolene mesh following adhesiolysis. Two months later, there was no recurrence but no lung expansion. The space was filled with effusion, but the patient had no complaints.

“…Typically, these hernias are left-sided, rarely contain a hernia sac and contain fat and omentum. Right-sided Bochdalek hernias containing loops of colon are extremely rare, with only 12 cases described worldwide (5).…”

An unusually large paraesophageal hernia mimicking a Bochdalek hernia

et al. 2017

Hiatal hernias are due to defects in the esophageal hiatus in the diaphragm and can be classified into sliding or paraesophageal hernias. A 31-year-old male raised a suspicion of a Bochdalek hernia but at surgery had a large paraesophageal hernia. Bochdalek hernia, a congenital diaphragmatic hernia presents in adulthood asymptomatically or with vague abdominal symptoms. It is paramount to confirm the diagnosis and rule out any fatal complications with imaging studies. Prompt surgical management with large complicated hernias, such as in our case presentation would ensure the most favorable outcome.
