Diaphragmatic hernia is an unusual finding, especially in emergency settings and in the absence of trauma. Imaging plays a crucial role, with various CT signs of diaphragmatic rupture having been described, including the "dangling diaphragm," "absent diaphragm," "collar sign," "hump sign," "fascia sign," and "dependent viscera sign". We report an unusual case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with exertional dyspnea and asthenia. A CT scan was performed, revealing a large right diaphragmatic hernia involving an abnormally rotated liver and several other organs. The association between a malrotated liver and diaphragmatic hernia is extremely rare, with only a few cases previously reported in the literature. Surgery remains the definitive treatment, and the surgical approach depends on the size of the defect and the presence of significant complications.
膈疝是一种不常见的病症,尤其是在急诊情况下且无外伤史时。影像学检查起着关键作用,已经描述了多种膈破裂的CT征象,包括“悬吊膈”“缺如膈”“领口征”“驼峰征”“筋膜征”和“下垂脏器征”。我们报告一例罕见病例,一名53岁女性,表现为劳力性呼吸困难和乏力。进行了CT扫描,发现一个巨大的右侧膈疝,涉及肝脏异常旋转及其他多个器官。肝脏旋转不良与膈疝之间的关联极为罕见,此前文献中仅报道过少数病例。手术仍然是确定性治疗方法,手术方式取决于缺损大小及是否存在严重并发症。
