| Popis: | In three cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia presenting long after the newborn period, there was striking enlargement of the intraabdominal stomach. In each case there was herniation of the entire small bowel into the thorax and absence of a hernial sac. Despite the enormous capacity of the stomach, which was suggestive of obstruction preoperatively, no site of obstruction could be demonstrated at operation. This enlargement disappeared following surgical repair of the hernia. |
