Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication during pregnancy. Only 30 reports have been published on this subject in English between 1959 and 2009. Due to misdiagnoses and management delays, diaphragmatic hernia usually presents itself as a life-threatening emergency. Here, we present a case report of a patient with a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia who became acutely symptomatic during pregnancy. The diaphragmatic hernia was managed successfully, and we describe the presentation, management and outcome of this case. We also present a review of all of the reported cases of diaphragmatic hernias complicating pregnancy that have been published in English during the past 50 years.

“…It should be noted that these may not only lead to diaphragmatic eventration but may also worsen the existing condition and increase complaints dramatically. Since the symptoms of diaphragmatic eventration that develop during pregnancy are among the very frequently seen obstetric symptoms, it may become more difficult to make a diagnosis (4). Visceral perforation, respiratory distress, pneumothorax, and obstructive shock can be seen in advanced cases.…”

ÖzetDiyafragma evantrasyonu; diyafragma yaprağının bir kısmı veya tamamının, kalıcı olarak yükselmesidir. Gebeliğinin 35. haftasında, ilerleyen nefes darlığı ve dispeptik yakınmalar şikayeti olan hastaya Akciğer grafisi çektik. Diyafragma evantrasyonu tanısı koyduktan sonra takip ettik. Gebeliğinin 38. haftasında şikayetlerinin artması üzerine sezaryen ile doğumu gerçekleşen vakaya yaklaşımı sunuyoruz. Gebelik haftası ne olursa olsun spesifik olmayan semptomlar ile başvuran hastalarda obstetrik nedenler ekarte edildikten sonra diyafragma evantrasyonu düşünül-melidir. Tedavi yaklaşımı jinekologları, obstetrisyenleri, çocuk doktorları ve göğüs hastalıkları uzmanlarını kapsayacak şekilde multidisipliner yaklaşım ile olmalıdır. Anahtar KelimelerDiyafragma Evantrasyonu; Term Gebelik; Dispne; Solunum Fonksiyon Testi Abstract Diaphragmatic eventration is a permanent elevation of part or all of the diaphragmatic leaf. The patient had progressive dyspnea and dyspeptic complaints at gestational week 35. She was followed up with a presumed diagnosis of diaphragmatic eventration. We present here our intervention in a case where cesarean section was performed at gestational week 38 due to progressive dyspnea. Diaphragmatic eventration should be considered after obstetric causes are ruled out in patients who present with non-specific symptoms regardless of their gestational week. The treatment approach should be multidisciplinary, involving gynecologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, and pulmonologists, as well as specialists from other branches when necessary.
