Intestinal obstruction in pregnancy is rare but has a high maternal and foetal mortality. We present a case of 32-year-old patient who presented in her 2nd trimester of pregnancy with signs and symptoms of large bowel obstruction. An exploratory laparotomy revealed that the transverse colon had herniated through a diaphragmatic tear as the cause of the intestinal obstruction. The delays in presentation and diagnostic dilemmas associated with intestinal obstruction in pregnancy are manifested in this case. Keywords: intestinal obstruction; pregnancy; diaphragmatic hernia

Although diaphragmatic injuries caused by blunt or penetrating trauma are rare entities, they are the most commonly misdiagnosed injuries in trauma patients and occur in approximately 3–7% of all abdominal or thoracic traumas. Acute pancreatitis secondary to late presenting diaphragmatic hernia is very rare. Here we present two separate cases: one with acute bowel obstruction and the other with acute pancreatitis secondary to late onset traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (three and twenty-eight years after chest trauma, resp.).

Abstract We present the case of a 71 years old woman who came at the emergency room for abdominal pain and symptoms of occlusion. The scanner demonstrated a colonic occlusion resulting from an incarceration, diagnosed as a hernia of Bochdalek. But two old rib fractures and a past history of a fall directed us to the diagnostic of delayed diaphragmatic rupture. The patient was operated in emergency and post-operative follow-up was simple. Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias are rarely diagnosed directly after trauma. Complications such as pneumonia, occlusion, enteric ischemia, visceral perforation and twisting of splenic hilium can occur many years after the trauma. This is why, for patients with intestinal obstruction or association of pulmonary abdominal symptoms and history of thoraco-abdominal injury, the diagnostic of diaphragmatic hernia should be considered. When patients present complications, there is a higher rate of morbidity and mortality (31%) reason why, emergency surgery is mandatory.

Malformations  and  premature birth are  the  most  important  causes of chronic  diseases, disability and  mortality in childhood. Help  for  children   with  malformations  is  often  needed immediately   after  birth.  WHO  determines heart   defects,  neural tube   defects,  chromosomal  abnormality –  Down  syndrome as  the  most   severe  malformations. Down  syndrome  is  a genetic disease in which the child has the superfluous chromosome and often defects in the development of different organs and   systems. The  presence of  several defects  requires a  complex   surgical   approach that  can   be  performed endoscopically.  It  is  known  that  Down  syndrome  can   be  combined  with  chyloperitoneum.  The  article  represents  the clinical  observation  of  successful  treatment  of  the   newborn  baby   with  Down  syndrome,  which  was   combined  with congenital high  intestinal  obstruction at  the  level  of the  duodenum and  parasternal  diaphragmatic hernia, both  defects were corrected laparoscopically. The chyloperitoneum developed in postoperative period was successfully treated with the appointment of total parenteral nutrition and infusions of Sandostatin analogues.
