英文释义

名词 n.
  1. The presence of abdominal organs in the thorax, which is unusual and occurs only via congenital anomalies or later injury; diaphragmatic hernia is by necessity involved, given that the diaphragm is the barrier between the abdominal and thoracic compartments. countable,uncountable
    — Traumatic diaphragm ruptures (DRs) are an unusual condition after blunt thoracoabdominal trauma, and there are some difficulties in the diagnosis, in the absence of the additional life-threatening injuries. Right-sided injuries are less frequent than left-sided injuries and may be missed easily. Intrathoracic herniation of abdominal organs is an uncommon condition for right-sided DR. Particularly, to our knowledge, progressive hepatothorax and enterothorax that develop over years are a very rare presentation of DR. Herein, we present a case of progressive thoracic herniation of the abdominal organs, diagnosed 22 years after the initial trauma.
