Abstract BackgroundIntrathoracic kidney (ITK) associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is rare congenital anomaly and usually requires surgery. The surgical methods and approaches are diverse.Case presentationWe reported a case of a 5-year-old boy who was diagnosed as right-sided ITK with CDH. Surgical treatment was performed by combined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic approach. Anatomical reposition of the right kidney and nephropexy were carried out under laparoscopy, and repair of the hernia was performed under thoracoscopy. The postoperative recovery was uneventful and long-term follow-up demonstrated normal function and development of the kidney.ConclusionCombined thoracoscopic and laparoscopic approach is minimally invasive and effective for treatment of ITK associated with CDH. It provides better visualization of the diaphragmatic foramen and the hernia sac, and can achieve anatomical reposition and fixation of the ectopic kidney.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is an opening in the diaphragm in which the abdominal viscera protrudes into the chest as the result of an embryologic defect. CDH can be an isolated anomaly or occur simultaneously with a chromosomal abnormality or genetic syndrome. Prognosis for fetuses with CDH is widely variable and depends on numerous factors including premature birth, the presence of a chromosomal abnormality or genetic disorder, location of the herniation, lung volume, and cardiac involvement. This study presents details of a case of right-sided CDH with an intrathoracic kidney detected sonographically. Fetal echocardiography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were used to further characterize the herniation. Both sonography and MRI aided in accurate diagnosis and postnatal treatment planning.
