A

incomplete closure of ab muscles around umbilical ring at birth
assoc w premie, af am, hypothyroid, ehlers danlo, beckwith wiedeman syndrome
soft nontender bulge covered by Skin protruding during crying coughing straining etc, may have small intestines omentum etc
easily reducible usually, little risk of incarceration or strangulation
clinical dx
spontaneous reduction by concentric fibrosis and scarring if small usually
if large (^1.5cm) or other medical issues may not reduce - surgery around age 5 if persisting or earlier if problematic

heparin is iv only

so want to get to oral warfarin for discharge

83
Q

mechanism of diaphragmatic rupture in blunt trauma

special presentation in kids

A

high intraabdominal pressures
or avulsion
-left more common because left posterolat diaphragm congenitally weak and lover protects right
