diaphragmatic hernia


Diaphragmatic hernias (alternative plural: herniae) are defined as either congenital or acquired defects in the diaphragm.
Demographics and etiology
Congenital
There are two main types of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)s which are uncommon yet distinct entities that usually occur on the left side (80%) of the diaphragm :
- Bochdalek hernia: most common (95%), located posterolaterally and usually present in infancy
- Morgagni hernia: smaller, anterior and presents later in life, through the sternocostal angles
Acquired
There are a variety of etiologies for acquired diaphragmatic hernias that usually occur in adulthood :
- traumatic diaphragmatic rupture through either penetrating injury (65%) or blunt trauma (35%)
- hiatus hernia
- iatrogenic
Depending on the location and size of the defect retroperitoneal or intra-abdominal organs and tissues can prolapse into thoracic cavity due to the negative intra-thoracic pressure .
