Charu Tiwari et al. J Indian Assoc Pediatr Surg. 2022 Mar-Apr.

Abstract

Bilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare birth defect associated with poor prognosis associated with pulmonary hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension, and other congenital anomalies. We describe a female neonate with bilateral CDH who was successfully managed surgically. A brief review of literature is also described.

Keywords: Bilateral; congenital diaphragmatic hernia; neonate; surgery.
