Diaphragmatic hernia as an early ultrasound manifestation of Apert syndrome

Anterior Plagiocephaly in an Atypical Case of Apert Syndrome

Apert syndrome is a congenital craniosynostosis syndrome comprising of bilateral coronal synostosis , symmetric syndactyly of hands and feet and midface hypoplasia. We present an atypical phenotype of this syndrome with right sided unilateral coronal synostosis. However, type I apert hand and other clinical and radiological features suggestthe diagnosis. Genetic analysis revealed an absence of ...

Diaphragmatic hernia presenting as gastrointestinal bleeding.

We report a 5-year-old girl who presented with persistent iron-deficiency anemia. She had a history of abdominal pain and recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding. High-resolution computed tomography, esophagogastroduodenoscopy and barium meal examination revealed a congenital diaphragmatic hernia with intermittent gastric volvulus. The anemia was the result of Cameron lesions associated with diaphr...

Diaphragmatic Hernia Masquerading as Pleural Effusion

Rupture of the diaphragm is almost always due to major trauma. We present here an unusual and rare case of late presentation of diaphragmatic hernia after an innocuous injury. The patient was initially misdiagnosed as a left pleural effusion on the basis of chest X-ray and ultrasound findings. Finally, the diagnosis was confirmed on computerized scanning.

Diaphragmatic hernia.

Congenital Hernia The development of the diaphragm is complicated (Fig. i). The anterior portion is formed from the septum transversum. The septum transversum originally arises in the upper part of the cervical region, and in the course of its caudal migration it receives its innervation from branches of the 3rd, 4th and sth cervical nerve roots (the phrenic nerve) which accompanies it in its d...
