A Comparative Analysis between Right and Left Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernias
Authors
Abstract:
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare congenital anomaly of the diaphragm with an incidence of 1:2000-5000 of live births. This study retrospectively evaluated patients who had been operated on for CDH at our department of Pediatric Surgery between January 2013 and December 2016. The Demographic Data and outcomes of right CDH cases (Group 1) were compared with left CDH cases (Group 2).

Congenital Esophageal Anomalies and Diaphragmatic Hernias
● Epidemiology ● Esophageal atresia occurs in about 2.4 of every 10,000 live births, with a slight preponderance in males and children of older or diabetic mothers. Esophageal duplication cysts account for 10 to 15 percent of all foregut duplication cysts and only 5 to 10 percent of all mediastinal cysts. Congenital esophageal stenosis occurs in between 1:25,000 and 1:50,000 live births. Bochda...

INTRODUCTION Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a major malformation occasionally found in newborns and babies. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is defined by the presence of an orifice in the diaphragm, more often to the left and posterolateral, that permits the herniation of abdominal contents into the thorax. The aim of this case series is to provide information on the presentation, diagnosis...

Right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia has in the past been considered to be incompatible with life. Even as recently as 1925 Hedblom stated that 75 per cent. of all cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia die before the age of one month. With modem advances in technique death is now in most cases avoidable, and must be blamed on failure to diagnose correctly. Mis-diagnosis is so much the...
full textTolazoline in the treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernias.
SUMMARY Four babies with congenital diaphragmatic hernias each developed a state of transitional circulation. Tolazoline was successfully used to lower the pulmonary vascular resistance and to treat this normally fatal postoperative complication. Some children born with posterolateral (Bochdalek) diaphragmatic hernias, after an initially satisfactory postoperative recovery, develop persistent h...
full textThe late presentation of postero-lateral congenital diaphragmatic hernias.
Four patients presenting after the neonatal period with a combination of respiratory and gastro-intestinal symptoms and signs which point to the diagnosis of congenital postero-lateral diaphragmatic hernias are discussed. Late presentation is more common than previously acknowledged. Early correct diagnosis and treatment are associated with an excellent clinical outcome.
