Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare disease, congenital or acquired, high or elevated position of one leaf of the diaphragm muscle, as a result of paralysis, aplasia or atrophy of varying degree of the muscle fibers of the affected side but with no break in the continuity of the muscle. We experienced 3 cases of the diaphragmetic eventration at the department of thoracic surgery, C.A.F.G.H., from 1980 to 1982, which were treated successfully. Among three cases, one case combinded with hamartoma of the ipsilateral lung. Specific complications were not noticed after surgical repair of diaphramatic eventration with good result.

A one day old female infant was brought to the emergency room suffering from shortness of breath. An x-ray revealed the gastrointestinal tract in the right thoracic cavity. An emergency operation demonstrated eventration of the diaphragm, and a plication was performed. The baby was discharged without complication and has been followed up in the out patient clinic. Congenital diaphragmatic eventuation requiring emergency operation is rare.

좌측 횡격막 거상증을 가진 40세 여자 환자에게 흉강경을 이용하여 횡격막 주름성형술을 시행하였다. 술후 흉부 X선 사진에서 좌측 횡격막의 하강과 좌측폐의 팽창을 확인할 수 있었다. 횡격막 거상증 환자에게 흉강경을 이용하여 수술하면 최소 침습적 수술이 갖는 여러 장점을 환자에게 제공할 수 있다.

This case report included 4 cases of traumatic diaphragmatic hernias, 3 cases of non-traumatic diaphragmatic hernias, and 3 cases of eventration of the diaphragm. Among the traumatic hernias, one case was in immediate phase of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture by traffic accident, 2 cases were in intermediate phase with chronic respiratory or vague gastrointestinal symptoms after traffic accident, and the other was developed after an operation, decortication for a chronic empyema with severe pleural calcifications, damaging the diaphragm. Three cases of nontraumatic diaphragmatic hernia were presented, including 2 cases of probable Bochadlek's hernia (Parents refused operation) and a case of Morgagni's hernia with severe gastrointestinal symptoms. And three cases of eventration of the diaphragm with symptoms were also reported. Results of all treated cases were excellent.

Acute gastric volvulus is one of the most fatal complications of the eventration of diaphragm and require emergency surgical treatment unless it is possible to pass a nasogatric tube. This 10 year old female patient was admitted because of severe abdominal pain and marked abdominal distention before about 3 days. On chest P-A and plain abdomen, there were the elevation of the left hemidiaphragm and marked dilatation of stomach and the triad of symptoms emphasized by Bochdalek in 1904 was present. Emergency operation [wedge resection of necrotic area of stomach and gastropexy after gastric decompression and plication of diaphragm] was performed. The type of gastric volvulus was organo-axial rotation, in which the stomach rotated around the line that connects the cardia with the pylorus [Fig. 4].

6개월 남아와 30개월 여아가 호흡곤란을 주소로 내원하였다. 이들은 모두 선천성 근질환을 진단 받았으며 반복적인 폐렴의 과거력이 있었고 흉부방사선촬영상 횡격막성 내장탈출을 관찰할 수 있었다. 근질환을 가진 환아에 있어서 일반적인 개흉술을 시행할 경우 환아의 술 후 합병증의 발생 위험이 높다고 판단되어 흉강경을 이용한 주름성형술을 시행하였다. 두 환아는 각각 수술 후 17일, 24일째 퇴원하였으며 현재 외래에서 경과 관찰 중이다. 본원에서는 선천성 근질환을 가진 환아를 대상으로 흉강경을 이용한 주름성형술 2예를 체험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

선천성 횡격막 내장탈출은 드문 질환으로 산전 초음파로 횡격막 헤르니아와 감별하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 선천성 횡격막 내장탈출과 횡격막 헤르니아의 예후가 다르고 수술적 접근 방식이 다를 수 있어 정확한 감별 진단이 필요하다. 저자들은 산전 초음파 검사에서 선천성 횡격막 헤르니아로 진단되었으나 수술 시에 선천성 횡격막 내장탈출로 진단된 두 증례의 후향적 분석을 통하여 비록 출생 직후의 단순 흉부 사진으로는 두 질환의 감별 진단이 어려웠으나 연속적인 단순흉부사진에서 뚜렷하게 드러나는 병변 측 횡격막을 확인하는 경험을 하였다. 따라서 산전 초음파 검사에서 횡격막 헤르니아로 진단되었다 하더라도 출생 이후에 촬영한 연속적인 단순흉부사진의 주의 깊은 판독을 통한 재평가를 강조하고자 한다.

In our hospital we have seen 20 cases of congenital diaphragmatic anomalies from June 1984 until December 1993. These were classified into 10 cases of diaphragmatic eventration, 8 cases of Bochdalek hernia, 1 case of Morgagni hernia, and 1 case of esophageal hiatal hernia. Diaphragmatic eventration cases were composed of 8 males and 2 females with ages varing from 3 hour to 42 year. They were discovered by symptoms: 5 cases of respiratory insufficiency; 3 cases of frequent respiratory infection; and 2 cases by chance; 6 cases involved the left side, 4 cases involved right side. Emergency operations were done to 4 patients. Among the 10 patients, only one operative mortality occurred; 3 hour old female.Bochdalek hernia cases composed 6 females and 2 males, 5 patients were less than 6 hour old. All patients were operated on an emergency status and three of them expired due to the vicious cycle of pulmonary hypertension and pulmonary vasoconstriction, persistent fetal circulation, hypoxia, and metabolic acidosis. Morgagni hernia was seen in one 69 year old female patient, she had no complaint of symptoms and was incidentally detected. Hernia was repaired through right thoracotomy. She was discharged with healthy appearence. Esophageal hiatal hernia was seen in a 10 month old male patient, his symptoms were persistent vomiting and coughing since birth. Sliding type of esophageal hiatal hernia repair was completed through left thoracotomy.

신생아 및 영아에서의 횡격막 이완증은 일반적으로 드문 질환으로 인식되어 있지만 이에 대한 정확한 진단과 적절한 원인별 처치의 필요성은 널리 알려진 사실이다. 최근 저자 등은 5 례의 선천성 횡격막 이완증을 경험할 수 있었고, 전 례 모두 수술이 적응되었다. 전 례 모두 생후 2개월 미만의 영아였고 모두 남아였다. 이완 부위는 전 예에서 좌측 횡격막이었다. 증상은 3례에서 호흡기 증상이 있었고 소화기계 증상은 없었으며 나머지 1례에서는 체중 증가불능 이 외는 무증상이었다. 전 예에서 방사선학적 변화가 저명하였고, 횡격막의 절정은 제 3에서 제 5늑간에 달하였다. 수술 술기로 저자 등은 경복부 접근 방법에 의한 횡격막 습벽 봉합술을 선호하였으며 수술 결과는 임상적으로나 방사선학적으로 우수하였다.

A four-month-old intact femlae Abyssinian cat was present for routine health evaluation, because her littermate was recently died of ventricular septal defect. Diagnostic imaging studies showed a large caudal paracardiac mass in thoracic radiography and homogenous mass adjacent to heart in the echocardiography. Further echographic study revealed that the mass was liver and the diaphragmatic line was intact. The positive contrast celiogram revealed that no extravasation of the contrast media across the diaphragm and the prolapse of diaphragm into the pleural cavity. Based on our diagnostic imaging studies, the case was diagnosed as diaphragmatic deformity in a cat mimicking a cardiac mass.
