    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Fatty herniation through the diaphragm, often appearing as an epidiaphragmatic shadow on chest X-ray, can be diagnosed using computed tomography. This condition typically requires no surgery when asymptomatic.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Epidiaphragmatic shadows on chest X-ray can indicate various pathologies.
    • Diaphragmatic defects may allow herniation of intra-abdominal contents.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the imaging findings and clinical course of patients with fatty herniation through the diaphragm.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 6 patients with epidiaphragmatic shadows on chest X-ray.
    • Diagnostic imaging included chest X-ray, computed tomography (CT), and in one case, thoracotomy.

    Main Results:

    • All 6 patients had fatty herniation through the diaphragm.
    • Computed tomography accurately identified the small diaphragmatic defect and fatty nature of the herniated mass in 5 patients.

  • One patient with Morgagni hernia underwent thoracotomy.

    • Conclusions:

    • Fatty herniation of the diaphragm is a rare condition that can be diagnosed non-invasively with CT.
    • Asymptomatic fatty herniations do not require surgical intervention.
