Description
Ze Ji, Zhen Zhao, Hongwei Xi, and Hongxia Ren report a rare infant case in 2024. A baby was born with a kidney located inside the chest, alongside a giant hole in the diaphragm. Only about forty cases of an intrathoracic kidney in children have been reported worldwide. The pairing with a large diaphragmatic hernia is rarer still, and its cause is unclear.
The six-month-old boy came to hospital after four days of vomiting. Surgeons repaired the diaphragm through small incisions and fixed the kidney to the back wall of the abdomen. Two years later the child showed no major problems. The authors back the keyhole approach as effective.
