چکیده

Incidence Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) refers to a congenital defect in the posterolateral diaphragm at the “foramen of Bochdalek.” It is a relatively common cause of neonatal respiratory distress with an overall incidence between 1:2000 and 1:5000 live births. CDH accounts for about 90% of congenital diaphragmatic defects. Eighty to ninety percent of congenital diaphragmatic hernias occur on the left side. A hernia sac is only present 20% of the time. Retrosternal hernias (Morgagni) are much less common and only account for 2-6% of congenital diaphragmatic defects. Diaphragmatic eventration is even rarer but is a postoperative complication in 1-2% of children undergoing surgery to repair congenital heart defects.
