Tension gastrothorax in late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a diagnostic dilemma
When symptoms of respiratory distress occur in an otherwise healthy child, tension gastrothorax should be on the list of differential diagnosis. It is important to recognize distinct radiographic features of this life-threatening condition in order to promptly manage it. Initial placement of nasogastric tube for decompression should be followed by the reduction of the organs into the abdomen and diaphragmatic repair.
