Congenital posterior diaphragmatic hernia

The abdominal organs protrude through the thoracic rib triangle into the thoracic region of the thoracic heart, and are called congenital posterior sacral hernia, also known as retrosteRNAl hernia, parasternal hernia, anterolateral hernia, or Morgangri hiatus hernia. The disease is rare, accounting for 3% to 5% of the diaphragmatic hernia. Onset can occur in the neonatal period and is more common in adults. The right thorax is more frequent, with respiratory and digestive symptoms as the main cause. If intestinal incarceration occurs, thoracic and abdominal infections may appear.
