| Popis: |
A case is reported of generalized acute abdominal pain in a school boy 11 years old with history of abdominal trauma produced by the introduction of a steel rod into the right hypochondrium. Laparatomy and prophylactic appendectomy were practiced and the diagnosis of situs inversus was made in his homestead. Six months later, the patient complained of intermittent abdominal pain, vomiting and absence of stools. With this picture, he was reoperated at this hospital where a right perforation of the diaphragm was found, through which the stomach, the epiploon and part of the ascending colon protruded into the chest. Said viscera were returned to the abdominal cavity and the diaphragmatic defect was sutured. The evolution was uneventful and the patient was discharged 10 days after surgery. |
