A review of literature of a functional, congenital intrathoracic kidney.
J Cardiothorac Surg

Internal Medicine, University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences - Northwest, Fayetteville, USA.
Introduction: The rarest form of renal ectopia, the thoracic kidney, has been documented in only about 200 cases worldwide. There are four recognized causes of congenital thoracic renal ectopia: renal ectopia with an intact diaphragm, diaphragmatic eventration, diaphragmatic hernia, and traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. This condition often presents as an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients.

Article Synopsis
- - Abdominal pregnancy is a rare and severe form of ectopic pregnancy, with risk factors including pelvic inflammatory disease and past surgeries or pregnancies.
- - A case report describes a 21-year-old woman with severe abdominal pain and signs of shock due to a ruptured hemidiaphragm from ectopic pregnancy.
- - Emergency surgery showed significant internal bleeding, but after treatment, the patient recovered, emphasizing the need to consider diaphragmatic rupture in similar medical emergencies.
Diaphragmatic rupture due to massive gastric volvulus after robotic-assisted diaphragm plication.

Gastric volvulus has been rarely associated with diaphragmatic paralysis or eventration. In this article, we present the case of a patient with idiopathic paralysis of the left hemidiaphragm that underwent treatment with a robotic thoracoscopic diaphragm plication, which was complicated by massive gastric volvulus resulting in such significant intra-abdominal hypertension that the ipsilateral diaphragm ruptured anterior to the plication suture line.

Introduction: Blunt diaphragmatic rupture (BTDR) is a rare condition that can occur in children following high-energy blunt thoracoabdominal trauma. In less than 1% of the cases, pericardial rupture can coexist with a BTDR. A coexistence of BTDR and pericardial rupture can result in displacement of the heart and is associated with high mortality.

Although the exact incidence of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia (TDH) is unknown, it can carry significant morbidity if not treated promptly. TDH is thought to be more common in penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma compared to blunt trauma. The left side is thought to be more commonly affected than the right due to the protective effects of the liver on the right hemidiaphragm in trauma.
