Article Synopsis
- The study examined the use of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) stenting versus the modified Blalock-Taussig shunt (mBTS) as treatments for children with stenotic RVOTs aged 1 to 18, revealing limited literature on their comparative effectiveness.* -
- Data from 58 patients indicated that both procedures resulted in similar rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), but mBTS patients had shorter overall hospital stays, while RVOT stenting led to shorter ICU stays.* -
- Overall, RVOT stenting showed comparable results to mBTS concerning MACE and oxygen saturation levels at discharge, suggesting it could be a viable option for palliation in this patient population.*

Background: The aim of this study was to present our experience with late presentation Bochdalek hernia (BH), focussing on clinical presentation diagnostic and therapeutic approaches, and their outcomes.
Methods: Patients with late presenting BH 1 month of age between 1983 and 2022 were studied. We retrospectively collected and analysed the following data: age, sex, side of herniation, presenting symptoms and signs, associated anomalies, radiographic findings, intraoperative findings, postoperative course, complications, and mortality.
Clinical challenges and management of late presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia mimicking tension pneumothorax in a child: a case report and review of literatures.
Int J Emerg Med

, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare birth defect where abdominal organs move into the chest cavity through a diaphragmatic defect, leading to respiratory issues, commonly diagnosed in newborns but can also appear later in life.
- A case involving a 2-year-old boy from Ethiopia presented with respiratory distress, initially misdiagnosed as tension pneumothorax based on chest x-ray, but further imaging revealed CDH with abdominal organs compressing the lung.
- The case highlights the need for careful diagnosis in respiratory distress cases, as misinterpretation of imaging can lead to inappropriate treatments; accurate diagnosis through advanced imaging is vital for effective management and recovery.
Diagnostic challenges in late-presentation congenital diaphragmatic hernia: A case study of a 10-month-old with respiratory symptoms.

Faculty of Medicine, Al-Quds University, Jerusalem, Palestine.
Article Synopsis
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a disorder where the diaphragm fails to close during fetal development, leading abdominal organs to move into the chest cavity, mostly on the left side.
- A case study details a 10-month-old girl who presented respiratory distress and vomiting, ultimately diagnosed with a right-sided diaphragmatic hernia that caused complications like lung collapse and fluid in the chest.
- The case emphasizes the importance of early identification and treatment of CDH to ensure a good prognosis, even in late-presenting cases.
