On the clinical picture of diaphragmatic hernias with a description of a case of a carcinomatous stomach in a hernial sac

Lifetime recognition of chronic diaphragmatic hernias is rare. According to Lacher’s statistics in 1880. In 276 cases, accurate intravital recognition of diaphragmatic hernias was decreed only once - Leich tens ter n'om. Later, the number of such cases increased significantly, but nevertheless, their correct recognition is still very rare. These are the cases: Ahlfeld'a, Kaufmann'a, Abe 1'ya, A. V. Bergmann'a, Strupler'a, Pluckler'a, Herz'a. Here, recognition was possible, for the most part, thanks to fluoroscopy. Wullstein says in this regard that “the diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia was probably never made with certainty.” Thus, the description of our case in connection with the observations of other authors known from the literature may be of certain interest.
