| Popis: | Diaphragmatic hernia is a congenital or acquired defect in diaphragm, resulting in herniation of abdominal viscera into thoracic cavity. Acquired diaphragmatic hernia are seen mostly in patients with blunt or penetrating abdominal injuries. Nontraumatic acquired diaphragmatic hernias have been reported in literature but are extremely rare. Anaesthetic management of a patient presenting with nontraumatic diaphragmatic hernia as a co-existing disease offer unique challenges and considerations. This report was about the successful anaesthetic management of a 66-years-old male. He had Osteoarthritis (OA) of left knee with long standing massive right diaphragmatic hernia as a co-existing disease. He was scheduled for left Total Knee Replacement (TKR). Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) with low dose Subarachnoid Block (SAB) was the anaesthetic technique of choice. Femoral sciatic block is an alternate technique of anaesthesia for such patients. |
