AbstractDuodenal stenosis is part of a spectrum of disorders due to non-cannulization of the fetal gut lumen occurring in 11 to 13 weeks of fetal life. The diagnosis is often made in the neonatal period owing to bilious vomiting. The authors present a case of a 9-year-old boy who was diagnosed by an upper gastrointestinal study that showed a hugely dilated stomach filled with food residue and a dilated first part of the duodenum with an abrupt narrowing in the second part of the duodenum in keeping with duodenal stenosis. There was no associated malrotation (a known association), but the delayed images showed a surprising finding of herniation of large bowel loops into the thorax suggestive of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (Bochdalek type). Both these findings were confirmed on surgery, and the patient underwent duodenoduodenostomy and diaphragmatic hernia repair and is doing well on follow-up. This case is unusual due to the rare association of duodenal stenosis with congenital diaphragmatic hernia and delayed diagnosis. Both these pathologies most often present in the neonatal period, and delayed diagnosis is most often seen with associated trisomy 21 that was not the case in our patient.

The Congenital diaphragmatic hernia generally presents with severe respiratory distress in the neonatal period and usually occurs once in every 2,000-3500 births. Late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has been defined as CDH diagnosed after the neonatal period due to initial symptoms after the neonatal period or asymptomatic CDH found in the course of routine X-ray examination of the chest beyond the neonatal period. When late presentations occur, patients may be asymptomatic or may be critically ill with unusual respiratory and gastrointestinal symptoms. Case characteristics: 3yrs old female child presented with history of pain abdomen, abdominal distension, vomiting, respiratory distress and fever since 5days. Chest tube was inserted in view of left sided pleural effusion. Later on, diagnosed with diaphragmatic hernia. Outcome Child was operated, and diaphragmatic repair done and was discharged successfully after 38 days. Message: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any child with unusual respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms and abnormal chest radiographic findings.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia almost always is due to a posterolateral defect of the diaphragm, which results from the persistence of the pleuroperitonal canal on foramen of Bochdalek. The hernia usually is on the left side. Displacement of abdominal organs, including bowel, liver, and/or spleen, into the chest results in mediastinal shift toward the opposite side and in homolateral or bilateral lung hypoplasia. In patients who have congenital diaphragmatic hernia, oxygenation in the neonatal period may be limited by severe lung hypoplasia as well as by pulmonary hypertension, which may result from decreased pulmonary vascular bed, pulmonary arteriolar muscular hypertrophy, and increased thromboxane production.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs in about 1 in 3000 births among which over 90% of the patients will be diagnosed either antenatally or will present with respiratory distress in the first few hours of life and about 5% to 30% of diaphragmatic hernias present beyond the neonatal period. The extent of herniation of abdominal viscera into the thorax may vary, leading to acute or intermittent symptoms. The inappropriate insertion of a chest drain, although relieving the symptoms temporarily, may result in serious consequences by damaging intrathoracic abdominal viscera.
