Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a typical neonatal emergency. There is, however, a subset of patients who manifest this congenital anomaly in infancy and early childhood. Late-presenting diaphragmatic hernia is characterized by a variety of gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms with acute or chronic modes of manifestation. The aim of the study. Analysis of the clinical course, diag...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major birth anomaly that often occurs with additional non-hernia-related malformations, and then referred to as CDH+. While the impact of genetic alterations does not play role in isolated CDH, patients CDH+ display mutations are usually determined via array-based comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH). We analyzed 43 between 2012 2021 identify novel...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare developmental anomaly of the diaphragm that mainly presents mainly in newborns. Even less common is late-onset CDH associated with hypersplenism. We report a 10-year-old male who presented with coughing, blood-stained sputum, and fever. He was diagnosed with CDH complicating hypersplenism after computed tomography was done. The patient was treated...

BACKGROUND Survival rates of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) have improved to up to 80%. Little is known about long-term consequences of the disease and its treatment. We evaluated lung function and respiratory symptoms longitudinally in a previously studied cohort of CDH patients and age-matched non-CDH patients who underwent similar neonatal intensive care treatment. STU...

Background: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a simple diaphragmatic defect that is seen frequently in antenatal scans. Though the surgical repair is relatively easy in the neonate, the mortality is high due to pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary vascular changes. Materials and Methods: The goals of prenatal imaging are to establish the diagnosis. Assessment in a tertiary scanning center ...

INTRODUCTION The pathogenesis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is not clear. Risk factors including environmental factors have been implicated in the pathogenesis of few congenital anomalies. We aimed to assess the effect of season on the incidence of CDH and mortality rate in the southwest of Iran. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this retrospective study, the records of 60 patients with CDH ...

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) usually presents in the neonatal period, and about 10% of reported cases occur in adults. The most common type is Bochdalek's hernia, which occurs through a defect in the posterolateral portion of the diaphragm with an estimated prevalence of 1 in 2500 live births. CDH in adults presents with gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms, which can be acute or i...

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...

Background and Objective: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is an anomaly of the cardiopulmonary system maturation process that results from both a global embryopathy concomitant mechanical compression abdominal contents during fetal maturation. This in pulmonary hypertension, hypoplasia, cardiac dysfunction, requiring intense critical care management. The patients with highest risk CDH are...

Introduction: Combination of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and anorectal malformation (ARM) is rare. In this report, we describe a combination of imperforate anus and CDH in one of twins who conceived by Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Case Report: A female preterm newborn at 27 weeks of gestation was referred to our neonatal intensive care unit due to respiratory distress. S...
