Diaphragmatic rupture occurs in 4%-5% cases of thoracoabdominal injuries. It may present acutely, in a delayed fashion or as a complicated hernia. We are describing the case of a young male presenting in respiratory distress with history of chest trauma 1.5 years back. On investigation, he was found to have left side diaphragmatic hernia containing gangrenous colon with lung collapse. The patient underwent successful operative intervention and discharged after 25 days of hospital stay. Record review suggested that the above mentioned diaphragm injury was missed in his evaluation 1.5 years back. Diaphragmatic injury must always be suspected in thoracoabdominal injuries, as missed injury may cause devastating complications like the one narrated above in due course.

We report a case of sudden cardiovascular collapse several weeks following surgical repair of a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. The patient presented with features of circulatory shock without a clear diagnosis, therefore an urgent computed tomography scan of the chest and abdomen was undertaken, which revealed a pericardial effusion with evidence of cardiac tamponade. Ultrasound-guided needle pericardiocentesis with aspiration of blood from the pericardial sac in the Emergency Department provided an immediate response and her cardiac output improved. On review of the imaging, it is likely a surgically-placed permanent metallic fixation device, sitting near the pericardium, caused bleeding into the pericardial sac due to local trauma as a delayed postoperative complication.

A 35-years-old female post-endoscopic gastroplasty presented to the emergency department complaining of epigastric abdominal pain. The abdominal examination showed epigastric and tenderness. On abdomen computerized axial tomography (CAT) scan she had small bowel obstruction with twisting of mesenteric vessel. The patient taken to the operating room for diagnostic laparoscopy and proceed, laparoscopic examination showed proximal dilatation of small intestine with collapse of distal part of jejunum, the obstruction identified, as fibrous band originating from the stomach to the proximal part of jejunum, this band caused by suture penetrating the stomach wall, which is going with the previous history of the endoscopic gastroplasty, reduction of the internal hernia done by releasing of the fibrous band, the herniated segment was healthy. Internal hernia can present with variety of complications. To the best of our knowledge from the literature review, this is the first case to be reported as internal abdominal hernia secondary to endoscopic gastroplasty.

A 6-week-old male child presented with a right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), large perimembranous (PM) ventricular septal defect (VSD) and multiple muscular VSDs, and a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The child was found to be allergic to frusemide. The VSDs were closed, the PDA was ligated, and the CDH was repaired through a right subcostal incision. Postoperatively, there were recurrent episodes of right lung lobar collapse, but the child responded to intravenous antibiotics and nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). The child is medically stable and on outpatient follow-up. We present this rare combination of diseases in view of a successful simultaneous surgical repair.
