Morgagni’S Hernia

Abstract Introduction Morgagni hernias are an uncommon form of diaphragmatic hernia, it is rare for them to be diagnosed in adulthood and they are often asymptomatic in this population. Case Report We report a case of a 26-year-old female who used cocaine on a weekly basis who presented to the emergency department with an acutely obstructed right-sided Morgagni’s hernia. She underwent laparotomy which demonstrated transverse colon with ischaemic associated omentum inside the hernia. The hernia was reduced, the ischaemic omentum was excised and the 4x4cm diaphragmatic defect closed with 2-0 ethibond without mesh. Conclusions Following review of the literature, the medical risks of cocaine use are well documented, however they focus on the risks from a pharmacological perspective. Further thought should be given to the effects of inhalant cocaine use and how this may exacerbate herniation from the drastic changes in intrathoracic pressure during inhalation of the substance, this is a new possible risk of cocaine use that is not previously mentioned in the literature and warrants further investigation.

Motor Tics

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by a combination of multiple motor tics and at least one phonic tic. TS patients often have associated behavioral abnormalities such as obsessive compulsive disorder, attention deficit and hyperactive disorder. Coprolalia, defined as emission of obscenities or swearing, is one type of complex vocal tic, present in 8% to 26% of patients. The pathophysiology of coprolalia and other complex phonic tics remains ill-defined. We report a patient whose complex phonic tic was characterized by repetitively saying "breast cancer" on seeing the son of aunt who suffered from this condition. The patient was unable to suppress the tic and did not meet criteria for obsessive compulsive disorder. The phenomenology herein described supports the theory that complex phonic tics result from disinhibition of the loop connecting the basal ganglia with the limbic cortex.
