Abstract:
A five-year-old female child presented with intestinal obstruction. X-ray abdomen and chest showed multiple air-fluid levels in abdomen and a single gas shadow with air-fluid level in left hemithorax. Ultrasound confirmed the presence of gut loop in left side of chest. Laparotomy was carried out with repositioning of intestinal loops in abdominal cavity and closure of posterolateral diaphragmatic defect with non-absorbable suture. Patient recovery was uneventful. As soon as diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia is made, surgical intervention should be made to prevent fatal complications.
