Bochdalek hernia in an adult patient: Case report

Aim of this paper is to present a rare case of Bochdalek hernia in adult age and to underline the importance of clinical suspicion and imaging technique in making the exact diagnosis of this abnormality. Bochdalek hernia is a congenital defect localized on the posterolateral wall of the diaphragm through which the organs of the abdominal cavity pass into the chest. It is primarily diagnosed in neonatal and postnatal periods, while it is very rare in adults. The authors present a case of Bochdalek hernia in adulthood with symptoms arising from the gastrointestinal and respiratory tract. The diagnosis was confirmed by performing the computerized tomography of the chest. A rare case of left-side Bochdalek hernia was presented, which was discovered in adult age and treated surgically with success.

Introduction. Asymptomatic Bochdalek hernia in adults is a rarity. The aim of this paper is to present a rare case of Bochdalek hernia among adults and to point out to significance of clinical suspicion and important role of imaging techniques in reaching the exact diagnosis of this abnormality. Case report. A patient, aged 68 years, came to the Clinic of Pulmonology complaining of constant dyspnea, coughing and fatigue. Computed tomography (CT) findings were dominated by the large rear right diaphragmatic hernia with the hernial sac that reached the carina trachea and urged the principal bronchi. The stomach, duodenum and proximal part of jejunal winds, as well as a greater amount of omental and mesenteric adipose tissue were localized in hernial sac. Radiography of gastroduodenum showed: entry of the esophagus into the cardia was in the level of the right main bronchus. Stomach was mainly located in the chest (cardia, upper corpus half - to the level of the right main bronchus). Operation was indicated. First, we made right thoracotomy and the hernia sac was separated from the right lung and then we performed median laparotomy and the contents of the hernia sac were returned to the abdominal cavity; diaphragm defect was reconstructed with prolen mesh. Conclusion. We presented a rare case of right sided Bochdalek hernia which was discovered at late age and surgically treated with success.

We present a case of bilateral anterior superior iliac spine avulsion fractures in an adult patient who was involved in a road traffic collision. Her injuries were managed conservatively and she has had an uncomplicated recovery with a good outcome. This is, to our knowledge, the only reported case of bilateral simultaneous anterior superior iliac spine apophyseal avulsion fractures in an adult.

Red Pulp

Sclerosing Angiomatoid Nodular Transformation (SANT) is a rare and benign lesion arising from the red pulp of the spleen, with an unknown etiopathogenesis. These tumors are usually asymptomatic and are found incidentally on radiographic examination. Therefore, high clinical suspicion is of great importance for the diagnosis. Splenectomy provides complete cure, and no recurrence and/or malignant transformation was reported to date. In this study, a rare case of SANT was reported in aadolescent male, and was discussed with the relevant literature.
