Diaphragmatic hernia with gangrene - what does this mean
Diaphragmatic hernia with gangrene is a medical condition in which a hernia forms in the diaphragm and the surrounding tissue becomes infected, leading to the death of tissue and the formation of gangrene. this can occur due to a variety of causes, including trauma, infection, and surgery.
What happens during the disease - diaphragmatic hernia with gangrene
Diaphragmatic hernia with gangrene is caused by a rupture in the diaphragm, which is the muscle that separates the chest from the abdomen. this rupture can occur due to trauma, such as a car accident, or due to a congenital defect. the hernia allows the contents of the abdomen to move up into the chest cavity, leading to compression of the lungs and other organs. the hernia can also lead to decreased blood flow to the affected area, leading to tissue death and gangrene.
