Congenital diaphragmatic hernias (CDHs) are commonly diagnosed in the newborn period. Late symptomatic hernias usually develop on the basis of trauma. In this case, a 44-year-old female patient with Bochdalek hernia who did not have a history of trauma and who applied with vomiting and abdominal pain is presented.
Ovarian cysts may reach giant size and may usually be confused with intraabdominal mesentery cysts, acid accumulation or inclusion cysts. They usually appear with intestinal system findings and abdominal distention. Computed tomography (CT) may be used for the detection of size and origin of the cysts. Midline laparotomy should be preferred due to the likelihood of malignity and confusion with other intraabdominal pathologies. Treatment protocol is determined based upon the patient's fertility. A 52-year-old female patient, who was admitted with constipation and abdominal distention, and was detected to have a mucinous cystadenoma measuring 25 cm originating in the left ovary, is presented in this paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
