Abstract
Introduction and importance: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is caused by a defect of diaphragm. The incidence of CDH is 1/3600 in new births in the US, causing pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. In rare cases, the late presentation in adulthood is reported.
Case presentation: We report a 31-year-old female with respiratory distress and gastrointestinal disease, diagnosed on X-ray chest and abdomen CT scan as CDH case, which was in left-sided diaphragm.
Clinical discussion: Left posterolateral thoracotomy was performed for this patient. The patient with late diaphragmatic hernias presentation had a variety of symptoms, but diagnosis was very difficult.
Conclusion: In this super rare case, the patient had a mix of bariatric surgery complications such as excessive weight loss. Additional investigation and research are necessary to better detect this type of disease.
