AI Article Synopsis

  • A 13-year-old girl was diagnosed with a rare congenital diaphragmatic hernia, specifically a Bochdalek hernia, which involved an abnormal lung tissue condition called extralobar pulmonary sequestration.
  • The condition was treated successfully using laparoscopic and video-assisted thoracic surgery techniques to remove the affected tissue and repair the diaphragm.
  • The patient had a smooth recovery, showing no complications one month after the surgery.

Article Abstract

Here, we report the rare case of a 13-year-old girl with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (also known as Bochdalek hernia), which was revealed to be an extralobar pulmonary sequestration that was treated using laparoscopic and video-assisted thoracic surgery sequestrectomy and repair of the diaphragm defect after detection of a supradiaphragmatic mass connected with the retroperitoneum. The patient showed no postoperative complications at a 1-month follow-up examination.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)-associated fibrosis causes significant morbidity. Mechanisms are poorly understood but implicate the microbiota, especially adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC). We previously demonstrated that AIEC producing the metallophore yersiniabactin (Ybt) promotes intestinal fibrosis in an IBD mouse model.

Pulmonary sequestration (PS) is a rare congenital malformation where abnormal lung tissue lacks a connection to the airways and receives blood supply from systemic arteries. This case report describes a 30-year-old man with recurrent hemoptysis diagnosed with intralobar PS (ILS) as the cause. He underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery to clip and section the aberrant artery, resulting in a successful outcome with no further bleeding.

Aim Of The Study: Patients with congenital lung malformation (CLM) may present pulmonary inflammatory changes. However, little is known about the factors influencing local inflammation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors that may affect inflammatory changes in CLM.

Intrathoracic ectopic kidney is an extremely rare congenital defect that is frequently identified by accident because it is asymptomatic. Even more unusual is its link to pulmonary sequestration alone. This case report describes the clinical presentation of a 7-month-old child with a history of recurrent respiratory distress and chest infections since birth, who had shortness of breath, failure to thrive, and delayed developmental milestones.
