Hernia Diaphragmatic Anterior

Diaphragmatic hernia is a protrusion and bulging through a hole in the diaphragm of one or another abdominal organ. What is a diaphragm? This is a muscle-tendon formation that divides the chest into two parts and has the shape of a convex dome-shaped septum. The diaphragm interacts with the costal arches, and during breathing it lowers and then rises, which ensures alternating movement of the lungs.

There are two types of diaphragmatic hernias: - Anterior - facing upward. This is a hernia of the liver, which can descend behind the abdomen along with adjacent tissues, ligaments and vessels. - Posterolateral (axial). These are intestinal hernias, which are usually localized in the epigastric region and descend down under the xiphoid process, passing under the border of the sternum. In addition, the hernial protrusion can get under the lower part of the esophagus or hiatus. Such anatomical features are observed in sliding hiatal hernias. During physical activity, rising of the stomach due to a diaphragmatic hernia quite often aggravates chest pain. If there is a strangulated hernial sac that becomes clogged when food is retained, then a complete disappearance of pain is detected. Their appearance is possible only when the body is turned upside down, since the posterior wall of the hernia compresses the undilated area of ​​the intestine.

In addition to two types, there are mixed hernias. In this condition, a fragment (adjacent) of any organ can enter both the chest cavity from below (with a posterior hernial sac) and

The diaphragm is the muscle that separates the chest cavity and the abdominal cavity. It plays an important role in breathing and supporting internal organs. However, some people may have a problem with this muscle called a hiatus hernia.

A hiatal hernia is a condition in which a piece of tissue or organ from the abdominal cavity protrudes through the hole between the ribs and the diaphragm. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including abdominal pain, shortness of breath, cough, vomiting and weakness.
