Late presentation of Bochdalek hernia: our experience and review of the literature

S Nitecki et al. Isr J Med Sci. 1992 Oct.

Abstract

During the last 18 years, 81 patients were diagnosed in the Department of Pediatric Surgery, Rambam Medical Center, as having congenital diaphragmatic hernia, 11 of whom (13.5%) presented after the first 24 h of life. In this retrospective study we describe our experience with late presentation (beyond 8 weeks after birth) of Bochdalek hernia in 5 of the 11 patients, and we review the literature.
