Diaphragmatic hernia is defined as the prolapse of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity through a defect in the diaphragm that is either congenital or acquired. Acquired hernias are common in adults and frequently occur as the result of trauma, either iatrogenic or non-iatrogenic. Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia is a rare complication of patient-related treatment maneuvers/procedures. The rate of late presentations of an iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia is disparate, ranging from 5 to 62%. Iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernia after pulmonary resection is extremely rare with only two case reports published worldwide so far. In this report, we discuss the case of a young male presenting several years after undergoing left lower lobectomy with signs and symptoms of acute gastric outlet obstruction.
膈疝被定义为腹腔内容物通过先天性或后天性膈肌缺损突入胸腔。后天性疝在成人中很常见，通常是由医源性或非医源性创伤引起的。医源性膈疝是与患者相关的治疗操作/程序中罕见的并发症。医源性膈疝的晚期表现发生率差异很大，从5%到62%不等。肺切除术后医源性膈疝极为罕见，迄今为止全球仅发表了两篇病例报告。在本报告中，我们讨论了一名年轻男性在接受左下肺叶切除术后数年出现急性胃出口梗阻症状和体征的病例。
