A Case Report of Bochdalek Hernia with Anomalous Hepatic Lobe Heterotopia | Chapter 08 | Issues and Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 9

 Bochdalek hernia is the most prevalent kind of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH), which is caused by a postero-lateral diaphragmatic abnormality. In CDH, hepatic heterotopia is uncommon, and hepatic herniation has the poorest outcome.

A neonate with a right Bochdalek hernia (BH) and abnormal hepatic lobe heterotopia is presented in this case. Mal-rotated loops in the right hemithorax were observed herniating intraoperatively. The mal-rotated loops were decreased back into the abdomen after Ladd's technique, and the diaphragmatic defect was fixed over the anomalous liver lobe. The baby was discharged on the seventh postoperative day, and follow-ups revealed that he had recovered well.

Conclusion: The presentation, classification, and relevance of this connection are discussed in this case report. Our case report is interesting since Bochdalek hernia is uncommonly coupled with an abnormal hepatic lobe, and we believe that exposing this link will assist our paediatric surgical community in terms of scientific research and therapeutic care.
