Article Abstract
Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare but life-threatening condition resulting from a traumatic injury to the diaphragm. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with a history of fall injury and a delayed presentation of a right-sided diaphragmatic hernia with subsequent bowel obstruction and perforation in a patient with a history of trauma and tuberculosis. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy with manual reduction of the herniated bowel, primary repair of the diaphragmatic defect, and the creation of a double-barrel ileostomy. This case highlights the importance of considering traumatic diaphragmatic hernia in patients with a history of trauma presenting with abdominal symptoms. Timely diagnosis and surgical intervention are crucial in preventing serious complications associated with this condition.

LONP1 encodes a mitochondrial protease essential for protein quality control and metabolism. Variants in LONP1 are associated with a diverse and expanding spectrum of disorders, including Cerebral, Ocular, Dental, Auricular, and Skeletal anomalies syndrome (CODAS), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), with some individuals exhibiting features of mitochondrial encephalopathy. We report 16 novel LONP1 variants identified in 16 individuals (11 with NDD, 5 with CDH), further expanding the clinical spectrum.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a serious congenital anomaly often associated with pulmonary hypoplasia and persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Central vascular access such as umbilical arterial catheters (UACs) is routinely used in neonatal intensive care but is associated with the risk of vascular complications, including thromboembolic events. We present a case of preterm dichorionic diamniotic (DCDA) twins born at 34 weeks of gestation with antenatally diagnosed CDH.

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is linked to various esophageal and extra-esophageal complications. While GERD is theoretically a potential risk factor for abdominal hernias, current evidence is limited. Observational studies have suggested associations between GERD and both congenital diaphragmatic hernia and hiatal hernia.

Methods: Between 2014 and 2023, we performed FETO for severe or moderate left-sided CDH with the Kitano Grade 3 stomach position. We analyzed the pre- and post-operative ultrasound findings, pregnancy outcomes, and survival rates at six months.
