Late-Onset Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia, Misdiagnosed As Hydropneumothorax: A Case Report, Aditya P. Singh, Arun K. Gupta, Dinesh K. Barolia, Ramesh Tanger
Menoufia Medical Journal
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is herniation of bowels and abdominal solid organs in the thoracic cavity, causing pulmonary hypoplasia with decreased pulmonary vasculature and dysfunction of the surfactant system. In severe cases, left ventricular hypoplasia is also observed. Usually CDH present in the neonatal period. Late-onset CDH is a rare anomaly with misleading symptoms and signs. We present here a case of late presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia misdiagnosed as hydropneumothorax in an 11-month-old male child.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a ravaging disease, particularly in the low-income countries, with a protean manifestation in children. Thus, a high index of suspicion is the key to clinching the diagnosis when presentation is in a rare form such as laryngeal TB. In this study, the case report of a 10-year-old female child with laryngeal TB in the setting of other typical clinical presentation associated with TB is highlighted.

Objective The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of serum leptin level as a marker of severity of pre-eclampsia (PE). Background PE is a hypertensive disorder in pregnancy that is associated with high blood pressure and proteinuria and develops after 20 weeks of gestation. PE is a major contributor to maternal mortality, complicating 2–8% of pregnancies. Patients and methods This study was conducted at the outpatient clinic and obstetric departments of Shebin El-Kom Teaching Hospital from February 2016 to January 2017. This study included 95 pregnant women, among which 20 were diagnosed as having mild PE (group …

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) with or without stent deployment for treatment of venous hypertension resulting from central venous stenosis (CVS) in hemodialysis (HD) patients and to determine the relationship between the temporary dialysis catheters and the type of the fistula from one side and development of CVS on the other side. Background The quality of life of HD patients depends mainly on the patency and proper function of their arteriovenous shunts. Vascular surgeons should have many surgical and endovascular plans to keep the hemodialysis access working properly, endovascular …
