A leak too far--gastro-pleural fistula mimicking recurrence of repaired congenital diaphragmatic hernia following fundoplication.

چکیده
Recurrence rate after a congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair is high especially after a patch repair. Recurrence can be asymptomatic, followed by respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms and the diagnosis is usually confirmed radiologically. We present an unusual case of radiologically diagnosed recurrent left diaphragmatic hernia but at surgery was found to be a gastro-pleural fistula that occurred as a complication following fundoplication surgery.

OBJECTIVE Herniation of abdominal contents through the diaphragm has been described in a variety of diaphragmatic defects and may occur secondary to diaphragmatic injury, either traumatic or iatrogenic. The aim of this study is to report a case of gastro-pleural fistula in a patient with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. CASE PRESENTATION An 18-year-old male patient, with a past history of blun...
متن کاملRecurrent late complications following congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair with prosthetic patches: a case series
INTRODUCTION Many different prosthetic materials have been used for repair of large posterolateral congenital diaphragmatic hernias, which cannot be primarily repaired. Almost 50% of patch repaired diaphragmatic hernias will recur. The ideal prosthetic material for congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair has yet to be established. We report on two cases with unusual (calcification) and late comp...

We present a case of an alveolar-pleural fistula with hepatic hydrothorax in a patient undergoing orthotropic liver transplantation, which was detected by drainage of transudate through an endotracheal tube during operation. A standard endotracheal tube was changed to a double-lumen tube to provide differential lung ventilation. The patient was diagnosed with an alveolar-pleural fistula by dire...
متن کاملRecurrence in a Laparoscopically Repaired Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia: Case Report and Literature Review
INTRODUCTION Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) develops infrequently following a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture (TDR). As TDR is frequently missed due to lack of sensitive and specific imaging modalities, a high index of suspicion for such injuries is essential, whether immediately posttraumatic, or even decades after the trauma. We describe a rare case of recurrence in a laparoscopically r...
متن کاملRecurrence of Diaphragmatic Hernia After Thoracoscopic Repair With Strattice Patch
Introduction: Thoracoscopic repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia has increased with the use of prosthetic material. When the defect cannot be repaired primarily, a variety of materials have been used. The ideal prosthetic material has not been identified yet. The use of biologic tissue matrix prosthesis is appealing because this material may serve as a framework to support the patient’s ow...
