AI Article Synopsis
- - Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) are uncommon conditions caused by both genetic and environmental influences during fetal development, typically identified in newborns.
- - A patient underwent a colonoscopy for high-risk polyps and later experienced sudden abdominal pain, leading to the discovery of a rare right-sided diaphragmatic hernia that required surgery.
- - This case is significant due to the rarity of post-colonoscopy diaphragmatic hernias, especially right-sided ones, highlighting the importance of thorough imaging reviews in such situations.
Article Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDH) occur as a result of genetic and environmental factors that occur during the early stages of fetal development. Overall, CDH are considered to be quite rare and are often discovered when patients are neonates. The patient in this case underwent a routine colonoscopy for high-risk polyps but then developed the sudden onset of cramping abdominal pain and PO (per os) intolerance. She was found to have a right-sided diaphragmatic hernia which ultimately required operative intervention. Retrospectively, a close review of prior imaging revealed a potential diaphragm defect. Post-colonoscopy diaphragmatic hernias are very rare and right-sided ones are rarer, making this case report an important addition to the literature.

Introduction: There is a risk of iatrogenic vascular injuries during robotic-assisted laparoscopic excision of diaphragmatic endometriosis. Although studies are limited, the first reported case of a suprahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) injury during robotic diaphragmatic endometriosis excision was successfully treated using a fibrin sealant patch, preventing exsanguination and conversion to laparotomy.
Case Description: A 36-year-old female with a history of recurrent catamenial pneumothorax and two prior video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries to treat diaphragmatic endometriosis presented to our clinic with right-sided shoulder pain and a chest tube in place.

Article Synopsis
- Chromosomal analysis using CMA, MS-MLPA, and trio-WES was conducted on a female fetus with omphalocele, identifying a new 300-kb deletion in the Xq13.1 region affecting the MED12 gene.
- An ultrasound at 18 weeks showed features indicative of Hardikar syndrome, such as cleft lip and palate, diaphragmatic hernia, and heart displacement.
- The findings suggest that the deletion of the MED12 gene may play a critical role in the development of Hardikar syndrome, highlighting the potential impact of haploinsufficiency of this gene.
Right upper quadrant pain after previous blunt abdominal trauma: undiagnosed traumatic diaphragmatic hernia with strangulated right colon.

A woman in her 40s self-presented to an emergency department in a major trauma centre with severe right-sided abdominal pain, a tender right upper quadrant mass and chest pain. Diagnostic imaging showed a previously undiagnosed diaphragmatic hernia containing strangulated right colon. The patient had been the victim of a high-energy road traffic accident 18 months earlier, but at that time had not presented to hospital or undergone any outpatient investigation.

A 57-year-old man underwent partial resection of the right diaphragm with invasive thymoma dissemination. Fifteen days after surgery, he suddenly developed right-sided chest pain with dyspnea and was raced to the hospital. Chest computed tomography (CT) showed a massive right hemothorax, and emergency surgery was performed due to hemodynamic shock.

A 46-year-old woman on low-dose estrogen-progestin (LEP) therapy for endometriosis developed a right-sided pneumothorax. Surgical findings included a pulmonary bulla in the right middle lung lobe and a small hole in the center tendon of the diaphragm, both of which were partially resected. Histopathology confirmed the presence of endometrial tissue, leading to a diagnosis of thoracic endometriosis.
