Abstract

Introduction: A diaphragmatic rupture may have traumatic origin but may also have other causes such as endometriosis or iatrogenic origin. We report a rare case of right diaphragmatic rupture in a woman with thoracic and abdominal endometriosis that was treated surgically on the diaphragm. Observation: She was a 39-year-old woman diagnosed with thoracic and abdominal endometriosis in 2005 and had been performed with a talcage and stapling of an endometriosis nodule at the phrenic center by thoracoscopy and then operated twice with abdominal and gynecologic surgeries. She presented at the entrance of our service a bubble of emphysema, a chronic right pleural effusion and an image of a right diaphragmatic hernia with staples around the bank of the diaphragmatic perforation indicating a surgical re-intervention for diaphragmatic repair. She had, by a right lateral thoracotomy, a reparation of the diaphragmatic rupture with a non-resorbable prosthetic material. Conclusion: For diaphragmatic lesions or perforations, resection using the endoscopic stapler device is the most appropriate approach. Though, the diaphragm is weakened by endometriosis, and a small diathermic lesion or a small injury by the staples may enlarge. Even iatrogenic diaphragmatic hernias are rare, stapling should be avoided, and opt for resection or a manual diaphragmatic fold and suture by using of prosthetic materials.
