DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA
- A communication between the
abdominal and thoracic cavities with or
without abdominal contents in the thorax
- Etiology: congenital but may be traumatic
- Location:
1) Esophageal Hiatus (Hiatal)
2) Paraesophageal (adjacent to the
hiatus)
3) Retrosternal (Morgagni)
4) Posterolateral portion of the
diaphragm (Bochdalek)
