An adult case of Bochdalek hernia complicated with hemothorax.

A 53-year-old female with mild shock due to vomiting and abdominal pain visited the emergency room of our hospital. Chest X-ray on admission showed a large amount of left pleural effusion. Thoracentesis revealed hemorrhagic pleural effusion. An upper gastrointestinal series showed interruption of the upper gastric body, but the anal side was not visualized. Contrast X-ray examination of the thoracic cavity via the drainage tube demonstrated intrathoracic herniation through the diaphragm. These findings suggested gastric impaction in the foramen of Bochdalek, and thoracotomy was immediately performed. A black-colored stomach and greater omentum, suggesting necrotic changes, were observed in the thoracic cavity, and there was bleeding from the greater omentum. Resection of the necrotic organs and closure of the hernial orifice were followed by good recovery.

Hemothorax and hemomediastinum in patients with hemophilia.

Three patients with hemophilia presented with hemothoraces which resolved within 1-3 weeks following treatment with factor concentrates. Drainage of blood was not necessary. Eight previously reported cases are reviewed, and therapy and complications are summarized. We suggest that treatment of this rare complication of hemophilia with factor concentrates and avoidance of surgical intervention is indicated.

Bronchial artery dissection and fatal hemothorax following pneumonectomy.

A 59-year-old man died suddenly and unexpectedly two days after an uncomplicated pneumonectomy for bronchogenic adenocarcinoma. In addition to a distal pulmonary thromboembolism found at postmortem, there was significant hemorrhaging into the pneumonectomy space, which was associated with rupture of a dissecting aneurysm in the calcified bronchial artery stump. The pathology and surgical implications of bronchial artery disease are discussed.
