Event Occurrence

Abstract Background Delayed presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is an uncommon event. Occurrence of gastric volvulus with massive necrosis in this setting is unusual. In this difficult scenario, the surgeon is faced with the dilemma of conservation or resection. Case presentation A 1-year-old boy with vague gastrointestinal symptoms was found to have congenital diaphragmatic hernia with gastric volvulus, on imaging. The stomach showed massive necrosis secondary to volvulus, and after removal of the necrotic body of the stomach, the remnant was sutured together. Conclusion Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is difficult to diagnose in late presenters beyond the neonatal period due to lack of respiratory symptoms. Stomach salvage is feasible even in severe vascular compromise due to extensive collaterals.
