Review
Diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication during pregnancy. Only 30 reports have been published on this subject in English between 1959 and 2009. Due to misdiagnoses and management delays, diaphragmatic hernia usually presents itself as a life-threatening emergency. Here, we present a case report of a patient with a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia who became acutely symptomatic during pregnancy. The diaphragmatic hernia was managed successfully, and we describe the presentation, management and outcome of this case. We also present a review of all of the reported cases of diaphragmatic hernias complicating pregnancy that have been published in English during the past 50 years.

Seventy-six cases of strangulated diaphragmatic hernia were reported up to 1953. An additional 64 cases reported between 1953 and 1966 are reviewed in this paper. The incidence of strangulation in various types of congenital/traumatic, hiatal, and incisional herniae is discussed. Four further cases of strangulated diaphragmatic hernia are presented. The mechanism of strangulation, its diagnosis, complications, and treatment are discussed.

A 3-year-old pregnant female alpaca was noticed due to increased lying and decreased feed intake after shearing. Twelve days after shearing, she aborted an almost completely developed cria. After another two days, the alpaca was recumbent and subsequently died during transport to the clinic. A dissection of the carcass revealed a diaphragmatic hernia. Diaphragmatic hernias have been described in many different species, diagnosis can be made by radiography or ultrasound. Depending on the extent, surgical therapy may be successful.

Review
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a defect in the formation of the diaphragm of the fetus. The diaphragm is the muscle and tissue that separate the chest and the abdominal cavities. In CDH, abdominal organs push into the chest cavity through the defect or herniation, compressing the developing lungs. During the past 10 years, significant changes have occurred in the diagnosis and management of CDH. Despite advances in postnatal care, infants born with a CDH continue to suffer substantial morbidity and mortality. Healthcare providers continue to research therapeutic approaches that will improve the care and optimize survival in these infants. The purpose of this article is to offer an in-depth exploration of neonatal physiology and pathophysiology, providing advanced concepts that expand the scientific basis for neonatal care practices.

Review
Articles dealing with late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in children published until 2003 were collectively reviewed. The main purpose of the presented study was to gain insight into the clinical spectrum of this variant of CDH and to discuss its clinical and surgical aspects. In 125 articles, 362 patients were reported. Left posterolateral hernia was the dominant anatomical type, found in 79.4% of the children. Male-to-female distribution was nearly 2:1 in both right- and left-sided CDH. Associated anomalies were noted in 8.6% of children. Sixty-five percent of children with right CDH presented within the 1st year of life, whereas only 41.7% of patients with left CDH belonged to this age group. The children with right CDH presented with chronic symptoms in 57.4% of cases, while among those with left CDH, acute presentation prevailed, constituting 60.5% of this group. No strict correlation between age and clinical symptoms was noted, although the youngest patients tended to present with respiratory symptoms. Late-presenting diaphragmatic hernia is associated with a wide range of clinical symptoms occurring in various constellations. Dyspnea and vomiting were the most frequent symptoms found in patients with either chronic or acute manifestation. Preoperative mortality was 3.9% (14 children). In 45 children (12.4%), complications resulting from diaphragmatic hernia were noted, and in a further 11 children iatrogenic preoperative complications were noted. Among 152 children with reported CDH, true hernia with sac was found in 32.7%. Eight children (2.2%) died in the early postoperative period, while a further 13 patients (3.6%) had postoperative complications requiring surgical management. Recurrence of hernia was noted in seven children (1.9%). This collective review of basic epidemiological and clinical data from a large group of patients seems to support a hypothesis for a congenital nature of the diaphragmatic defect and an acquired nature of "herniation" of the viscera. The wide clinical spectrum of late-presenting CDH seems to be conditioned by two factors: timing of herniation and type of intraabdominal viscera displaced into the chest.
