Pulmonary hernia

Pulmonary hernia (pulmonary hernia) is a disease formed when the lung tissue protrudes beyond the thoracic cavity through local weakness. The cause of the disease is related to congenital abnormalities and acquired injuries. Congenital pulmonary hernias are often accompanied by congenital deformities such as rib or spinal deformities, cleft palate, cleft lip, and the hernias include the neck, mediastinum, chest wall, and diaphragm. Of these, the neck and chest wall are the most common. The symptoms are not obvious and are often misdiagnosed as Cold abscess, subcutaneous emphysema, and jugular vein tumor.
