Q

Posterior Abdominal Pain

A
  • Psoas Major and Iliac Muscle have close relationships with many Abdominal Structures
    a) Kidneys, Ureters, Cecum, Sigmoid Colon, Pancreas, Posterior Abdominal Nerves
  • Disease or Injury of these structures can be associated with ILIOPSOAS Pain
    a) Iliopsoas Test is performed to HELP with Differential Diagnosis
    Ex: Patient lies on UNAFFECTED Side and EXTEND OPPOSITE THIGH Against Resistance

Q

Arcuate Ligaments

A
  • Posterior Origins of the DIAPHRAGM from ARCUATE LIGAMENTS:
    a) Medina Arcuate Ligament
    b) Medial Arcuate Ligament
    c) Lateral Arcuate Ligament
  • Arcuate Ligaments form Openings for Posterior Abdominal Wall Structures:
    1) Median Arcuate Ligament = AORTIC HAITUS

2) Medial Arcuate Ligament = GAP FOR PSOA MAJOR MUSCLE
3) Lateral Arcuate Ligament = GAP FOR QUADRATUS LUMBORUM MUSCLE

Q

Potential Sites for Diaphragmatic Hernias

A
  • Occur when attachments becomes stretched or Ligament become LOOSE
  • Commonly occur on the LEFT SIDE, due to protection of the Right Hemidraphragm by the Liver

PARASTERNAL HERNIAS:

  • STERNOCOSTAL TRIANGLE!!!!!!
  • Located Between the Sternal and Costal Parts of the Diaphragm

PLEUROPERITONEAL HERNIAS:

  • LUMBOCOSTAL TRIANGLE
  • Located between the 12th Rib and the Diaphragm
17
Q

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

A
  • 1 in 2,500 Live Births

ETIOLOGY:
- Failure of Plemroperitoneal Membranes to FUSE with other components of the Diaphragm

PRESENTATION:

  • Respiratory Distress and Cyanosis in the FIRST MINUTES or HOURS OF LIFE
  • Later Presentation is possible
  • Respiratory Distress may be SEVERE and can be associated with CIRCULATORY INSUFFICIENCY

***UNUSUALLY FLAT ABDOMEN!!!!

18
Q

Hiatal Hernia

A
  • Protrusion of Part of the STOMACH into the MEDIASTINUM through the ESOPHAGEAL HIATUS
  • Occurs MOST OFTEN after MIDDLE AGE, possible due to WEAKENING of the MUSCULAR PORTION of the Diaphragm

Two Main Types:

1) PARAESOPHAGEAL:
- Cardia reamins in position

  • Usually NO REGURGITATION of GASTRIC Contents
  • FUNDUS EXTENDS THROUGH THE HIATUS!!!!!!!!!

2) SLIDING:
- ABDOMINAL ESOPHAGUS, Cardia, and Funds of the Stomach SLIDE SUPERIORLY into the Thorax

  • SOME REGURGITATION of Gastric Contents may occur
19
Q

Blood Supply of the Diaphragm

A

SUPERIOR SURFACE:
- Pericardiacophrenic Artery

  • Musculophrenic Artery
  • SUPERIOR PHRENIC Artery

INFERIOR SURFACE:

  • INFERIOR PHRENIC Artery
    a) Right: Passes Posterior to IVC
    b) Left: Passes Posterior to Esophagus
20
Q

Innervation of the Diaphragm

A

MOTOR:

  • PHRENIC NERVE!!!!!!!
  • C3, C4, C5
  • Some Branches run with Inferior Phrenic Artery
  • ONLY MOTOR INNERVATION!!!!!**

SENSORY:

1) Central Portion (Central Tendon):
- PHRENIC Nerve

2) Peripheral Portion:
- INTERCOSTAL Nerve

21
Q

Lymphatics of the Diaphragm

A

SUPERIOR SURFACE:

a) Anterior Diaphragm
- PARASTERNAL NODES

b) Posterior Diaphragm
- MEDIASTINAL NODES

INFERIOR SURFACE:

  • SUPERIOR LUMBAR NODES
22
Q

2) Superior Mesenteric Nodes
3) Lumbar Nodes
4) Inferior Mesenteric Nodes
