In theory, they may have. It is depended seemingly on from what kind of a diaphragmatic hernia they have, but it should always to be a partial portal hypertension only.
However, it is more probable that an axial hernia (or other kind) will develop in a patient which have had the portal hypertension syndrome already due to a vast arrey of predisposing causes existed for long:
1) ascites and intraabdominal hypertension;
2) edema of the closing apparatus of the diaphragm and cardio-oesophageal junction;
3) hypoproteinaemia and likewise factors that lead to general dystrophy, and so on.
what is the percentage of operated patients of diaphragmatic hernia who has portal hypertension?
and if it appears, at what age ?
As pediatric surgeon,i have operated more than 75 cases of different types of diaphragmatic hernia, I have not come across a single case of portal hypertension !
