Delayed presentation of post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia with gastric volvulus: a case report

Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia complicated by gastric volvulus may manifest immediately or several years after the incident. Delayed presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia with gastric volvulus is relatively unusual. We report a 28-year-old male patient who admitted with gastric volvulus due to traumatic diaphragmatic hernia after sustaining a knife wound to the left lower chest one year before presentation. The patient has been followed without any symptom for two years since the diaphragmatic hernia was repaired by primary suture plication.

Gastric volvulus ile komplike olan post-travmatic diyafragma hernisi olaydan hemen ya da yýllar sonra bulgu verebilir. Travmatik diyafragma hernisinin gastrik volvulusla geç bulgu vermesi nispeten nadir bir durumdur. Burada, bir yýl önce sol alt göðüse aldýðý penetran býçak yaralanmasý sonrasý diyafragmatik herni ve buna baðlý olarak gastrik volvulus geliþen 28 yaþýndaki bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Diyafragmatik herninin primer dikiþle onarýlmasýnýn ardýndan hasta, son iki yýldýr semptomsuz izlenmektedir.
