BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia are reported to have evidence of brain MR imaging abnormalities. Our study aimed to identify perinatal clinical factors in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia that are associated with evidence of brain injury on MR imaging performed before hospital discharge. MATERIALS AND METHODS MRIs performed before hospital disch...

The occurrence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in a pregnant adult is rare. In contrast to neonatal diaphragmatic hernias, most of the adult patients present with vague gastrointestinal symptoms mimicking other diseases hence the importance of high index of suspicion. We report a case of a young pregnant lady with congenital diaphragmatic hernia presenting with symptoms and clinical signs su...

Infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia often require intensive treatment after birth, have prolonged hospitalizations, and have other congenital anomalies. After discharge from the hospital, they may have long-term sequelae such as respiratory insufficiency, gastroesophageal reflux, poor growth, neurodevelopmental delay, behavior problems, hearing loss, hernia recurrence, and orthopedic d...

background respiratory failure is one of the most important related factors to morbidity and high mortality in neonates with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (cdh). determining indices that could ultimately and perceively predict the disease severity, prognosis and morbidity of these neonates is crucial. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the predictive value of pao2/fio2 ratio (p/f ratio) ...

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...

We report four cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurring in two generations of a consanguineous Pakistani family. The affected subjects resembled no recognised genetic syndrome. This family provides further evidence for possible autosomal recessive inheritance of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in some cases.

Introduction: Diaphragmatic hernia could be caused by congenital disorders, blunt trauma or penetrating injuries. The diagnosis of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is normally neglected during the first presentation leading to late complications and considerably increased mortality and morbidity among the patients. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective, descriptive study, we reviewed the m...

background: when we perform surgery in utero, lungs have an appropriate time to decrease magnitude of hypoplasia, with surgery in uterus. methods: six time-dated single-fetus ewes were selected to induce diaphragmatic hernia. fetal lambs were divided proportionally into 2 groups, namely group 1, diaphragmatic hernia and tracheal ligation (tl group), and group 2, diaphragmatic hernia only (nl gr...
