A study was carried out in 4 patients with the diaphragmatic herniation has shown that the herniation was determined by X-ray. 2/4 cases diagnosed as pleural liquid and emphysema due to the clinical consultations and lack of experiences of imaging diagnosis. The various clinical symptoms including angina pectoris, severe abdominal pain, and vomiting after the meal. The study concluded that the diaphragmatic herniation can occur in all age and be early diagnosed

The diaphragm herniation via bochdaleck is rare disease. During 24 years, the Viet Duc Hospital managed 2 cases (male: 2) with the middle age. The disease was acquired type. The patients were indicated the X-ray in the supine side and prostrate position in combination with the abdominal contraction and abdominal fold. The results found that the finding of the position of diaphragm herniation should base on the X-ray image of the side position.

Hiatal hernia and Morgagni hernia are sorts of diaphragmatic hernias that are rarely detected on transthoracic echocardiography. Although echocardiographic findings have an important role for differential diagnosis of cardiac masses, we often might overlook diaphragmatic hernia. We report three cases of diaphragmatic hernias having specific features. The first case is huge hiatal hernia that encroaches left atrium with internal swirling flow on transthoracic echocardiography. The second case is a hiatal hernia that encroaches on both atria, incidentally detected on preoperative echocardiography. The third case is Morgagni hernia which encroaches on the right atrium only. So, we need to consider possibility of diaphragmatic hernia when we find a cardiac mass with specific echocardiographic features.

A case of congenital Morgagni hernia was presented in a 3 years old male child with the herni-ation of the left lobe of the liver. The diagnosis was confirmed by operation and the hernia was corrected surgically. The review of the literature concerning the congenital diaphragmatic hernia were made briefly.

A traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare combined problem involving injuries to the thorax and abdomen that may not be diagnosed at the time of injury. Surgical management is mandatory when the patient displays any signs of bowel strangulation due to the herniation because a herniated bowel has a very high risk of necrosis or perforation. Four patients were diagnosed with delayed traumatic diaphragmatic hernia 14 to 96 months after injury. In two patients, the diaphragmatic injury was missed at the time of injury. Reduction and diaphragm repair surgery were performed. One diaphragm was repaired with artificial mesh. Traumatic diaphragmatic injury is caused by a blunt or penetrating injury to the abdomen or thorax. After migration of the intra-abdominal contents into the chest, a narrow herniation defect can disturb the bowel circulation and passage of bowel contents. Early detection and reduction, and repair surgery are mandatory for patients with a delayed presentation of complicated traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Any patient with injury around the thorax or upper abdomen should be examined carefully considering the possibility of diaphragmatic hernia. Even if diaphragmatic injuries are not found in the initial evaluation, a radiology examination in a short period of time can correct the missed diagnosis of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia.

A diaphragmatic hernia in adult can result from delayed presentation of congenital or traumatic diaphragmatic defect. of all congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 5~25% present beyond the neonatal period. Diaphragmatic injury due to blunt or penetrating truncal trauma is relatively common, and can be missed during immediate posttraumatic period. If the diaphragmatic injury is not recognized at the time of the initial trauma, the patient may recover and remain symptom free, or suffer from chronic nonspecific abdominal and/or chest symptoms. After a variable interval acute symptom associated with intestinal obstruction or strangulation can arise because of a herniation of the abdominal organs through the diaphragmatic defect. A delay in diagnosis may occur and be associated with a high morbidity, so a careful history and examination, are essential for the successful management of patients, as is maintaining an awareness of the possibility of the delayed presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia and its complication. We present a 35-years-old male patient with delayed presenting, traumatic diaphragmatic hernia, and discuss a literature a review.

Congenital thoracic ectopic kidney is a very rare developmental disorder and the rarest type of ectopic kidney. This condition is usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally on routine chest radiography. Most cases of thoracic ectopic kidney develop in adulthood and during the neonatal period, and congenital thoracic ectopic kidney rarely develops in children. Most patients are asymptomatic, and the treatment depends on the diagnosis. Herein, we report a rare case of ectopic thoracic kidney associated with a diaphragmatic hernia in a 15-month-old male infant, who presented with periodic severe irritability. The thoracic ectopic kidney was detected as a mass in the right base of the chest on routine chest radiography.

Diaphragmatic hernias presenting during pregnancy or in the puerperium are very rare. The diagnosis is often delayed because the presenting symptoms of nausea, vomiting and mild abdominal pain are commonly seen in the normal antenatal or postpartum women. The most common etiology of diaphragmatic hernia in pregnancy is trauma and spontaneous diaphragmatic hernia is rare. We report a case of maternal diaphragmatic hernia in pregnancy with a brief review of literatures.
