A Triad of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, Meckel’s Diverticulum, and Heterotopic Pancreas

Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a common developmental anomaly encountered by paediatric surgeons. It is known to be associated with extradiaphragmatic malformations, which include cardiac, renal, genital, and chromosomal abnormalities. Herein, we report a newborn born with concurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Meckel's diverticulum, and heterotopic pancreatic tissue. This is the first case report of such a triad with description of possible mechanisms of the development.

Pancreas as a Content in Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: A Rarity

“…para-esophageal/hiatal hernia. [4][5][6] Parkash et al [7], reported pancreas as a content of CDH in a neonate. This entity usually presents as acute or chronic pancreatitis or with a chest mass.…”

Diagnostics and features of the course of Meckel’s diverticulus of thoracic localization with combined developmental malformations

“…В литературе представлены случаи сочетания ДМ с диафрагмальными грыжами (ДГ), гетеротопией ткани поджелудочной железы (ГТПЖ) в самом дивертикуле и в различных отделах желудочно-кишечного тракта [8][9][17][18]. Parkash Mandhan с соавторами о писали сочетание ДГ с дивертикулом Меккеля и ГТПЖ в стенке тощей кишки у новорожденного [11,13]. Обозначив патологию как триаду врожденной диафрагмальной грыжи (ВДГ), ДМ, ГТПЖ.…”
