Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) usually presents immediately in neonatal period with respiratory distress. However, delayed presentation has been reported. The morbidity and mortality of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is related to the severity of lung hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension and associated anomalies. This report highlights the importance of high index of suspicion through clinical examination and noninvasive diagnostic modalities. CDH presenting after neonatal period if diagnosed early, and treated appropriately poses less challenges in management. |
