The rare and unusual presentation of a gastric perforation in the setting of a large diaphragmatic hernia a case report and literature review.

Diaphragmatic hernias are either congenital or acquired defects in the diaphragm that permit passing of abdominal contents into the chest cavity. Individuals with large diaphragmatic hernias associated with a gastric perforation have rarely been reported in literature and can have serious mortality rates. Herein, we present a case of gastric perforation in the setting of a significant sized diaphragmatic hernia.

Intralobar pulmonary sequestration associated with Bochdalek hernia: first reported case in an adult male and literature review.

Pulmonary sequestrations (PS) are rare congenital malformations that can be difficult to diagnose. PS have no connection with the bronchial tree and are vascularized through an aberrant artery mostly arising from descending thoracic or abdominal aorta. The standard diagnostic method is the computed tomography angiography and delayed diagnosis can lead to recurrent pneumonia and hemoptysis.
