Here we present a case of a 75-year-old patient with a clinical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and emphysema presenting with a right contralateral pneumothorax secondary to a trans-mediastinal herniated lung bullae. [academic.oup.com]

However, approximately 10 % of patients with CDH present later in life [ 2, 7, 8 ]. Late presentation of CDH presents diagnostic difficulty due to its rarity and misleading symptoms and signs [ 2, 3, 7, 8 ]. [sjtrem.biomedcentral.com]

This presents as a hernia sac whose walls are formed by endothoracic fascia, phrenoesophageal membranes and parietal peritoneum. There are two main types of esophageal hiatus hernias. [clinanat.com]

  Morgagni (retrosternal) are rare and can be asymptomatic unless strangulation occurs. [medicaljoyworks.com]

  Recently, several authors have questioned the indication for repair in asymptomatic patients and prefer to monitor asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic PHH by ‘watchful waiting’. [websurg.com]

  However, surgical correction of truly asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic paraesophageal hernias is controversial. Some studies suggest that asymptomatic patients have an 85% annual probability of remaining asymptomatic. [thoracickey.com]

  Most mediastinal tumors are asymptomatic and are detected incidentally on a chest X-ray performed for another reason. [scielo.br]

  A Bochdalek hernia is through a weakness in the diaphragm, and usually occurs on the left side posteriorly (Bochdalek - back and to the left). Morgagni hernias typically occur medially. [med-ed.virginia.edu]

  A weak spot or other abnormal opening in a body wall permits part of the organ to bulge through. [medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com]

• Surgical Procedure

  This surgical procedure restores the valve-mechanism at the end of the esophagus to prevent reflux from occurring. Advancements in laparoscopy have made it safe and very successful when performed by a fellowship-trained, laparoscopic surgeon. [drdennisorr.com]
