A patient presents with pain in the lower back (lumbosacral region) and has a difficult time standing up straight. The pain radiates down the lower extremity and stops at the knee. What does this patient likely have?
Psoas syndrome
May mimic herniated disk
Where does the right renal artery branch off of the aorta relative to the IVC?
Right renal a. Goes behind the IVC
What are the borders of the respiratory diaphragm?
Xiphisternal joint
Costal margin
Vertebral body of T12 (Right and left domes; Superior surface can extend to 5th rib)
What are the peripheral origins that insert onto the central tendon of the diaphragm?
Sternal origin
Costal origin
Vertebral origin
The right and left crus meet to form and surround this hiatus:
Aortic hiatus
What comes out of the Caval opening at T8?
IVC
Branches of Right Phrenic n.
Lymphatics from liver
What comes out of the Esophageal hiatus at T10?
Esophagus
Anterior and Posterior Vagal trunks
Esophageal branches of Left gastric a.
What comes out of the Aortic hiatus at T12?
Aorta
Thoracic duct
Azygous vein
What comes out of the Sternocostal hiatus of the respiratory diaphragm?
Superior epigastric vessels
This ligament is a gap for Psoas Major muscles and sympathetic trunk:
Medial Arcuate
This ligament creates an opening for the aortic hiatus (connects the 2 crura anterior to the aortic hiatus):
Median Arcuate
This ligament creates a gap for Quadratus lumborum muscle and subcostal nerves and vessels:
Lateral Arcuate
Where do diaphragmatic hernias usually occur?
The left side due to protection of the right hemidiaphragm by the liver
A patient comes in to your office with a diaphragmatic hernia in the sternocostal triangle of the respiratory diaphragm. What type of hernia is this?
Parasternal hernia-In the sternocostal triangle (anterolateral gap) located between the sternal and costal parts of diaphragm
