Abstract

A case of ‘spontaneous’ diaphragmatic rupture occurring during a normal delivery and resulting in herniation, incarceration, and gangrene of the stomach and omentum is described. Resection of incarcerated viscera was followed by complete recovery. To the best of our knowledge this is the first report of such a complication of a ‘normal’ delivery.

Portal triad occlusion is necessary during orthotopic liver transplantation and is often used during hepatic resection. Although the haemodynamic consequences of this manoeuvre are usually well tolerated, spontaneous splenic rupture may occur. Two such cases are reported.
