The parasternal defect.
The parasternal defect, or Morgagni hernia, may not be as rare as previous authors have stated. Brown (1952) gives its incidence as 3 % of diaphragmatic defects, and Harrington (1951) in a review of 334 cases of diaphragmatic hernia found it in 14 only. In the mass radiography units at Portsmouth and Southampton 30 cases have been picked up and a further three cases have been found in patients ...
متن کاملThe Left Parasternal Impulse.
A lift or heave which is palpable at the left sternal edge is an accepted clinical sign of right ventricular hypertrophy. The parasternal impulse has been recorded in normal subjects and in patients with heart disease, and the results are described in this paper. A detailed description of the instrument used to make the recordings has already been published (Beilin and Mounsey, 1962). This inst...
متن کاملParasternal intercostal and diaphragm function during sleep.
Action of the uppermost medial internal intercostal muscles-the parasternals-during rapid eye movement (REM) is uncertain; no direct recordings exist of shortening of these muscles during sleep. Historically, motor inhibition of skeletal muscles during REM sleep is thought to cause global loss of chest wall muscle function, REM "atonia," with preservation of only diaphragm function. However, re...
متن کاملPerventricular device closure of a doubly committed juxtaarterial ventricular septal defect through a left parasternal approach: midterm follow-up results.
BACKGROUND It is infeasible to occlude a doubly committed juxtaarterial ventricular septal defect (DCVSD) percutaneously. The previous perventricular device closure technique was performed through an inferior median sternotomy approach. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of perventricular device closure of DCVSDs through a left parasternal approach. ...
متن کاملA case of bilateral parasternal diaphragmatic hernia.
In life the patient had displayed no symptoms directly referable to the unsuspected diaphragmatic hernia. She had suffered from chronic bronchitis with alleged emphysema, but had complained of no digestive or other alimentary symptoms. The patient's obesity rendered it unlikely that any clear physical signs indicative of the condition could have been detected on clinical examination, and at no ...
