49歲女性病患,因車禍而來急診就診。胸部X光影像及胸部電腦斷層影像疑似橫膈破裂及肝疝氣。因無法確定診斷,病人接受了診斷性胸腔鏡手術。手術發現右側橫膈Bochdalek疝氣及部分肝臟疝氣,沒有發現其他腹部器官疝氣。術後病人恢復良好,目前持續追蹤中。成人右側橫膈Bochdalek疝氣疑似創傷性橫膈疝氣由微創性胸腔鏡是很好的診斷工具。
A 49-year-old woman was injured in a motor vehicle accident. Rupture of the right diaphragm and liver herniation were suspected from the chest radiography and computed tomographic scan. However, due to the lack of a definite diagnosis, a diagnostic thoracoscopy was performed which revealed a right-sided Bochdalek hernia with partial liver herniation. A normally developed liver and no herniation of the abdominal viscera were also noted. The patient had an uneventful recovery after the operation and maintained regular follow-up after discharge. Right-sided Bochdalek hernia in an adult could be mimicked by traumatic diaphragm rupture. The diagnosis can be confirmed by means of minimally invasive thoracoscopy which is a good diagnostic tool.
