Rare Congenital Diaphragmatic Defects

چکیده
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a developmental defect of the diaphragm that allows abdominal viscera to herniate into the chest. The reported incidence of CDH is estimated to be between 1 in 2000 to 5000 births. Defects are more common on the left side, with approximately 80% being left sided and 20% right sided. Bilateral CDH defects are rare and have a high incidence of associated anomalies.
