Hand-assisted laparoscopic surgery for Bochdalek hernia in an adult patient with a history of laparotomy: A case report

Abstract Background We are a reporting a rare case of retroperitoneal schwanomma with atypical pre and postoperative manifestations. Retroperitoneal schwannomas are rare tumors that are difficult to preoperatively diagnose. Case presentation This is a case report of a male patient, 41 years old, with symptoms of hipogastric and lower right member pain, as well as a history of a papilliferous thyroid tumor. Computerized tomography exams were inconclusive, showing a mass in the presacral region with dimensions of 4.4 × 3.9 × 3.4 cm. Removal was carried out by laparoscopic surgery, with self-limited postoperative complications. Diagnosis was carried out by anatomopathological examination, and syndromic hypotheses were discarded. Conclusions The postoperative complications of schwanomma are little reported in the literature. In the simultaneous occurrence of schwanomma and other endocrine tumors, further studies are warranted to better differentiate the cases that need investigation of syndromic causes.

Adult Age

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.

History Of Pain

A patient with multiple tarsal coalitions presenting with symptoms at the age of 47 years is reported. The report highlights the presentation of symptomatic coalitions following trauma in adulthood. Coalitions can pose difficulties in diagnosis, particularly without previous history of pain or disability in childhood. A decrease or loss of subtalar movement, painful movement, and valgus deformity of the hindfoot are usually present in the adult patient but are not often pathognomonic and present a diagnostic conundrum, particularly with x-rays being misinterpreted. This report highlights the problem of diagnosing such a condition with the attendant difficulties in formulating treatment.

Celiac crisis is a very rare presentation of celiac disease in adults but nonetheless should be considered in patients with marked metabolic derangements in the setting of osmotic diarrhea.

Fecal incontinence after surgeries for anal atresia is not rare. One of the possible treatment alternatives – adynamic graciloplasty. We present a case of an adult patient to whom adynamic gracyloplasty was performed for fecal incontinence after single attempt of sphincter repair in childhood. There was a symptomatic improvement postoperatively, as confirmed by Wexner and FISI index. Adynamic graciloplasty could be more often used as a treatment option of fecal incontinence in adult patients with history of anal atresia.

Popliteal artery thrombosis may present as a complication of an osteochondroma located in the vicinity of the knee joint. This is a case report of a 26-year-old man with symptoms of the right lower extremity ischaemia without a previous history of vascular disease or trauma. Plain radiography, magnetic resonance angiography and Doppler ultrasonography documented the presence of an osteochondrous structure of the proximal tibial metaphysis, which displaced and compressed the popliteal artery, causing its occlusion due to intraluminal thrombosis..The patient was operated and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteochondroma.
