AI Article Synopsis
- A rare case of congenital right anterior high origin of the diaphragm was found in a stillborn fetus, highlighting structural abnormalities.
- Autopsy revealed notable features including an accessory lobe of the liver and a lobulated right atrial appendage in the heart.
- The presence of a small phrenic nerve hamartoma and an underdeveloped phrenic nerve suggests possible secondary changes, indicating the need for thorough examination of related anomalies in diaphragmatic conditions.
Article Abstract
A case of a rare condition of congenital right anterior high origin of the diaphragm in a stillborn fetus is reported. Associated findings at autopsy were a hornlike subdiaphragmatic intrathoracic accessory lobe of the liver and a lobulated right atrial appendage of the heart. At the superiormost aspect of the malpositioned right anterior diaphragmatic leaf a small phrenic nerve hamartoma was found. The phrenic nerve itself appeared small and not well developed. The phrenic nerve lesion may have been a concomitant or secondary hamartomatous change. Careful clinical and pathological search for concomitant anomalies in diaphragmatic lesions is emphasized.
