Foramen of Morgagni hernia diagnosed by liver scan. (1/21)

A case of foramen of Morgagni hernia (partial eventration of the right diaphragm) containing liver was diagnosed by hepatic scintiphotography. Diagnostic pneumoperitoneum has been recommended as the procedure of choice in the past. It is suggested that this be replaced by liver scaning. The similarity between eventration of the right diaphragm and foramen of Morgagni hernia is discussed.  (+info)

Thoracoscopic repair of eventration of diaphragm. (2/21)

pen thoracotomy and plication of eventration of diaphragm leads to hypoventilation due to pain and lung contusion due to retraction. We present two cases, 8 month and 4 years old; in whom plication was done thoracoscopically. Both had smooth recovery, early extubation and excellent cosmetic result.  (+info)

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration in a stillborn foal. (3/21)

A stillborn full term foal was presented at necropsy. The dilated duodenum and the dorsal and ventral left colon and cecum extended into the thoracic cavity and were encased by a thin transparent membrane originating from the diaphragm. The congenital condition was diagnosed as a developmental anomaly with diaphragmatic eventration. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of diaphragmatic eventration in a Thoroughbred stillborn foal.  (+info)

Volvulus complicating dextrogastria in an infant. (4/21)

We report eventration of right hemi-diaphragm resulting in gastric volvulus of the right sided stomach in an infant. The diagnosis of this rare association was made with contrast CT scan. Patient was initially managed with reduction of stomach, plication of right hemi diaphragm, anterior gastropexy and Ladds procedure, but required re-laparotomy after two months for recurrent volvulus.  (+info)

Pleural and pericardial effusion: a potential ultrasonographic marker for the prenatal differential diagnosis between congenital diaphragmatic eventration and congenital diaphragmatic hernia. (5/21)

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether or not the presence of pleural and/or pericardial effusion can be used prenatally as an ultrasonographic marker for the differential diagnosis between diaphragmatic eventration and diaphragmatic hernia. METHODS: We present two case reports of non-isolated diaphragmatic eventration associated with pleural and/or pericardial effusion. Additionally, we reviewed the literature for all cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and diaphragmatic eventration that met the following criteria: (1) prenatal diagnosis of a diaphragmatic defect and (2) definitive diagnosis by autopsy or surgery. The frequencies of pleural effusion, pericardial effusion and hydrops were compared between the two conditions using Fisher's exact test. A subanalysis was conducted of cases with isolated diaphragmatic defects (i.e. diaphragmatic defects not associated with hydrops and other major structural or chromosomal anomalies). RESULTS: A higher proportion of fetuses with diaphragmatic eventration had associated pleural and pericardial effusions compared with fetuses with diaphragmatic hernia (58% (7/12) vs. 3.7% (14/382), respectively, P < 0.001). This observation remained true when only cases of diaphragmatic defects not associated with hydrops and other major structural or chromosomal anomalies were compared (29% (2/7) with eventration vs. 2.2% (4/178) with CDH, P < 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: The presence of pleural and/or pericardial effusion in patients with diaphragmatic defects should raise the possibility of a congenital diaphragmatic eventration. This information is clinically important for management and counseling because the prognosis and treatment for CDH and congenital diaphragmatic eventration are different.

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration in an adult: a diagnostic dilemma. (6/21)

Eventration of the diaphragm is a rare condition where the muscle is permanently elevated, but retains its continuity and attachments to the costal margins. It is seldom symptomatic and often requires no treatment, but may be confused with a traumatic rupture of the diaphragm. We present a 51-year-old man with previously-undiagnosed congenital eventration, mimicking traumatic rupture of the diaphragm. The role of clinical examination, imaging and diagnostic laparoscopy to differentiate between eventration and traumatic rupture of the diaphragm are discussed.  (+info)

Congenital unilateral lower lip palsy and eventration of diaphragm. (7/21)

Congenital unilateral lower lip palsy is a rare but well-known limited variation of congenital unilateral facial palsy. We report a three-month-old boy with diaphragmatic eventration and isolated lower lip palsy, a combination that to our knowledge, has not been described before. Probable causes of this combination of multiple congenital malformations, in this case, could be due to nonrandom and heterogeneous mutations. The diaphragmatic eventration was treated successfully.  (+info)

Thoracoscopic diaphragmatic plication using three 5 mm ports. (8/21)

Thoracoscopic plication is the most effective treatment for diaphragmatic enventration. However, the conventional thoracoscopic plication procedure introduced by Mouroux in 1996 has some disadvantages. We improved and simplified the Mouroux technique with the patient in the head up position, CO(2) insufflations and figure-of-eight sutures. These were possible to perform by pure thoracoscopic surgery using three 5 mm ports without the requirement for open thoracotomy.  (+info)

Diaphragmatic eventration is a medical condition where the diaphragm, the thin muscle that separates the chest and abdominal cavities and helps with breathing, is abnormally thin and weak. This can cause the diaphragm to move upwards into the chest cavity, which can lead to difficulty breathing and other respiratory symptoms.

In eventration, the affected portion of the diaphragm is usually elevated and may have a transparent or bluish appearance due to the lack of muscle tissue. This condition can be present at birth (congenital) or acquired later in life due to injury or illness.

Mild cases of diaphragmatic eventration may not cause any symptoms and may not require treatment. However, more severe cases may require surgery to repair the damaged diaphragm and improve respiratory function.

One-Lung Ventilation (OLV) is a medical procedure that involves the selective ventilation of one lung, while the other lung is either collapsed or not ventilated. This technique is often used during thoracic surgeries to provide a clear surgical field and improve exposure, especially for procedures involving the lower lobes of the lung or the mediastinum.

During OLV, a double-lumen endotracheal tube or a bronchial blocker is inserted into the trachea to isolate and ventilate one lung, while the other lung is deflated and not ventilated. This allows the surgical team to operate on the non-ventilated lung without the risk of contamination from secretions or debris from the operative site.

OLV requires careful monitoring of the patient's respiratory status, including oxygenation, ventilation, and carbon dioxide elimination. It may also increase the risk of hypoxemia, atelectasis, and pneumothorax, so it is important to closely monitor the patient's condition throughout the procedure and take appropriate measures to minimize these risks.

Respiratory paralysis is a condition characterized by the inability to breathe effectively due to the failure or weakness of the muscles involved in respiration. This can include the diaphragm, intercostal muscles, and other accessory muscles.

In medical terms, it's often associated with conditions that affect the neuromuscular junction, such as botulism, myasthenia gravis, or spinal cord injuries. It can also occur as a complication of general anesthesia, sedative drugs, or certain types of poisoning.

Respiratory paralysis is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention, as it can lead to lack of oxygen (hypoxia) and buildup of carbon dioxide (hypercapnia) in the body, which can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

Oral medicine is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, management, and treatment of oral diseases and disorders. These may include conditions that affect the oral mucosa (the lining of the mouth), salivary glands, jaw joints, and other oral structures. Oral medicine also deals with the oral manifestations of systemic diseases, such as diabetes or HIV/AIDS, and the oral side effects of medications. Practitioners of oral medicine often work closely with other healthcare professionals, including medical doctors, dentists, and pharmacists, to provide comprehensive care for their patients.

A diaphragm is a thin, dome-shaped muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. It plays a vital role in the process of breathing as it contracts and flattens to draw air into the lungs (inhalation) and relaxes and returns to its domed shape to expel air out of the lungs (exhalation).

In addition, a diaphragm is also a type of barrier method of birth control. It is a flexible dome-shaped device made of silicone that fits over the cervix inside the vagina. When used correctly and consistently, it prevents sperm from entering the uterus and fertilizing an egg, thereby preventing pregnancy.

General anesthesia is a state of controlled unconsciousness, induced by administering various medications, that eliminates awareness, movement, and pain sensation during medical procedures. It involves the use of a combination of intravenous and inhaled drugs to produce a reversible loss of consciousness, allowing patients to undergo surgical or diagnostic interventions safely and comfortably. The depth and duration of anesthesia are carefully monitored and adjusted throughout the procedure by an anesthesiologist or certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) to ensure patient safety and optimize recovery. General anesthesia is typically used for more extensive surgical procedures, such as open-heart surgery, major orthopedic surgeries, and neurosurgery.

Mouth diseases refer to a variety of conditions that affect the oral cavity, including the lips, gums, teeth, tongue, palate, and lining of the mouth. These diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or other organisms. They can also result from injuries, chronic illnesses, or genetic factors.

Some common examples of mouth diseases include dental caries (cavities), periodontal disease (gum disease), oral herpes, candidiasis (thrush), lichen planus, and oral cancer. Symptoms may include pain, swelling, redness, bleeding, bad breath, difficulty swallowing or speaking, and changes in the appearance of the mouth or teeth. Treatment depends on the specific diagnosis and may involve medications, dental procedures, or lifestyle changes.

Suture techniques refer to the various methods used by surgeons to sew or stitch together tissues in the body after an injury, trauma, or surgical incision. The main goal of suturing is to approximate and hold the edges of the wound together, allowing for proper healing and minimizing scar formation.

There are several types of suture techniques, including:

1. Simple Interrupted Suture: This is one of the most basic suture techniques where the needle is passed through the tissue at a right angle, creating a loop that is then tightened to approximate the wound edges. Multiple stitches are placed along the length of the incision or wound.
2. Continuous Locking Suture: In this technique, the needle is passed continuously through the tissue in a zigzag pattern, with each stitch locking into the previous one. This creates a continuous line of sutures that provides strong tension and support to the wound edges.
3. Running Suture: Similar to the continuous locking suture, this technique involves passing the needle continuously through the tissue in a straight line. However, instead of locking each stitch, the needle is simply passed through the previous loop before being tightened. This creates a smooth and uninterrupted line of sutures that can be easily removed after healing.
4. Horizontal Mattress Suture: In this technique, two parallel stitches are placed horizontally across the wound edges, creating a "mattress" effect that provides additional support and tension to the wound. This is particularly useful in deep or irregularly shaped wounds.
5. Vertical Mattress Suture: Similar to the horizontal mattress suture, this technique involves placing two parallel stitches vertically across the wound edges. This creates a more pronounced "mattress" effect that can help reduce tension and minimize scarring.
6. Subcuticular Suture: In this technique, the needle is passed just below the surface of the skin, creating a smooth and barely visible line of sutures. This is particularly useful in cosmetic surgery or areas where minimizing scarring is important.

The choice of suture technique depends on various factors such as the location and size of the wound, the type of tissue involved, and the patient's individual needs and preferences. Proper suture placement and tension are crucial for optimal healing and aesthetic outcomes.
