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...

VACTERL Association Complicated with Right-sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.

We describe a neonate with VACTERL association and right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). Such coexistence is rare. The lack of symptoms during the early neonatal period, the absence of bowel loops herniated into the right thoracic cavity, and an unfinished surgery led to clinical and radiological diagnostic difficulties. Respiratory distress occurred when the patient was 2 months o...

Right-Sided Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia and Myelomeningocele: A Rare Association.

Majority of these defects are left-sided as most studies suggest that frequency of right-sided CDH was 10% of the total. The association of CDH with myelomeningocele (MMC) is extremely rare; as in Sweed's study of 116 consecutive cases of CDH, the incidence of associated MMC with CDH w...
