CAECAL VOLVULUS SECONDARY TO A BOCHDALEK HERNIA IN AN ADULT PATIENT
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 7
Abstract
A Bochdalek hernia is an uncommon presentation in an adult patient. When present they tend to be left - sided, asymptomatic and rarely contain large bowel. When symptomatic, Bochdalek hernias in adults tend to cause gastro - intestinal symptoms in contrast to the paediatric population where respiratory symptoms are typical. Contrast induced CT chest and abdomen has a high sensitivity for diagnosis of Bochdalek hernias, and when demonstrated, they should be managed surgically with either minimally invasive or open surgery.
