The late presentation of postero-lateral congenital diaphragmatic hernias

N D Heaton et al. Postgrad Med J. 1992 Jun.

Abstract

Four patients presenting after the neonatal period with a combination of respiratory and gastro-intestinal symptoms and signs which point to the diagnosis of congenital postero-lateral diaphragmatic hernias are discussed. Late presentation is more common than previously acknowledged. Early correct diagnosis and treatment are associated with an excellent clinical outcome.
