Abstract Background Bochdalek hernia is a rare disease in adults. Diaphragmatic hernia in adults has been repaired using minimally invasive surgery through laparoscopy or thoracoscopy. However, the literature regarding the combined use of laparoscopy and thoracoscopy for the repair of Bochdalek hernia is limited. Case presentation A 26-year-old man diagnosed with Bochdalek hernia was managed through combined abdominal and thoracic endoscopic surgery. On laparoscopy, the omentum prolapsed into the left thoracic cavity through the posterolateral area of the left diaphragm. On thoracoscopy, no adhesions of the omentum were seen in the thoracic cavity. The omentum was drawn back to the abdominal cavity, and a 4 × 3-cm hernial orifice was identified. The hernia orifice was repaired through simple closure with sutures laparoscopically. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful with no recurrences within the first year post-surgery. Conclusion Combined laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgery is a safe and effective method for Bochdalek hernial repair in adults.

Background: Bochdalek hernia is a congenital defect on posterolateral diaphragm with an abnormal connection between the thoracic cavity and the abdominal cavity. This disease causes protrusion of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. Case: an 8-day-old baby girl admitted to hospital with shortness of breath 24 hours after delivered. The baby was born spontaneously assisted by midwife. Upon born, the baby was crying strongly and meconium came out 2 hours after birth. On physical examination, the abdomen was inspected flat. Darm contour and darm steifung was observed, and peristaltic sound was heard on left lung. Radiological examination demonstrated a diaphragmatic hernia with ileus obstruction. The patient underwent laparatomy and stomach, ileum, transverse colon, and spleen, was found on foramen Bochdalek. Post-surgery chest X Ray showed favourable result. Ten days after treatment, the patient was discharged in a good condition with no respiratory or digestive problems. After 1 months the patient’s condition remained good and there were no respiratory or digestive complaints. Conclusion: In a rare case like Bochadalek hernia, laparotomy performed as a promising attempt to return the anatomic position of organ.

A congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a congenital condition in which a developmental defect in the diaphragm allows abdominal contents to migrate into the thoracic cavity. It occurs in about 1 in 2,000 newborns. This leads to lung underdevelopment and lung hypoplasia in utero. A defect in the diaphragm is usually on the left side, most commonly in the posterolateral region, also known as a Bochdalek hernia. A defect in the anterior region is known as a Morgagni hernia. Lung hypoplasia and the abnormal development of pulmonary vasculature resulting in pulmonary hypertension contribute to the morbidity and mortality associated with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.

Introdução: A hérnia diafragmática congênita é a falha do fechamento embrionário do músculo diafragmático, resultando em um defeito de continuidade. Esta patologia pode ocorrer pela passagem de estruturas do abdome através de um defeito no diafragma, ou haver herniação parcial do estômago através do hiato esofágico, paralisia frênica com deslocamento do conteúdo abdominal para cima, mas sem herniação, e, eventração do diafragma. Casuística: Foi relatado um caso de hérnia diafragmática congênita, hérnia de Bochdalek, em um recém – nascido do sexo feminino, que nos ultra-sonografias da gestante apresentavam sem alterações. O diagnóstico da patologia foi feito apenas após a realização de raios-X de tórax e abdome para confirmar a posição do cateterismo umbilical venoso. Discussão/Conclusão: A apresentação clínica da hérnia de diafragmática congênita inclui desconforto respiratório moderado a grave com repercussão sistêmica. O diagnóstico, em cerca de 80% dos casos, é feito por ultrassom pré-natal. O tratamento proposto foi intubação endotraqueal com ventilação mecânica e programação para correção cirúrgica da hérnia. Após correção cirúrgica da patologia, a paciente permaneceu na unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal por 21 dias para acompanhamento de pós – operatório e intercorrências na evolução. Palavras-chave: hérnia diafragmática congênita, recém-nascido, hérnia de BochdalekABSTRACTIntroduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is the failure of embryonic closure of the diaphragm, resulting in a lack of continuity. This condition can occur by passing structures of the abdomen through a defect in the diaphragm, or be part herniation of the stomach through the esophageal hiatus, phrenic paralysis with displacement of abdominal contents up but no herniation, and eventration of the diaphragm. Case Report: We report a case congenital diaphragmatic hernia, such as Bochdalek hernia, in a new - born female that in ultrasounds of pregnant women showed without change. The diagnosis of the disease was made only after conducting X-ray of the chest and abdomen to confirm the position of umbilical venous catheterization. Discussion/Conclusion: Clinical presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia includes moderate to severe respiratory distress with systemic repercussions. The diagnosis in about 80% of the cases is done by ultrasound prenatally. The proposed treatment was endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation and programming for surgical correction of the hernia. After surgical pathology, the patient remained in neonatal intensive care unit for 21 days to monitor post - operative complications and evolution.  Keywords: congenital diaphragmatic hernia, newborn, Bochdalek hernia

Abstract Purpose Bochdalek's hernia is a type of congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurring secondary to a defect in the posterior attachment of diaphragm. This condition commonly presents with respiratory insufficiency in infants. To date, there are less than 100 cases of Bochdalek's hernia presenting in adults published in the literature. The mainstay treatment of Bochdalek's hernia involves reduction of hernial contents back into the peritoneal cavity with a tensionless graft repair closing the diaphragmatic defect. Case Presentation We present an atypical case of the Bochdalek hernia presenting in a previously healthy 16-year-old male who presented to the Accident and Emergency department with a 2-day history of dysphagia and loss of breath. The Bochdalek hernia was confirmed on computed tomography (CT) imaging and the patient underwent surgical repair with Gore-Tex mesh. Conclusion The report shows a rare case of the Bochdalek hernia in a young adult, successfully managed with a laparotomy.
