Concurrent right diaphragmatic hernia and esophageal atresia

C L Thakral et al. Pediatr Surg Int. 1998 Nov.

Abstract

The occurrence of a coexisting congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and esophageal atresia (EA) with distal tracheoesophageal fistula is extremely rare and is considered highly lethal. Only 19 cases of CDH with EA have been reported in the world literature to date. This is a very challenging clinical problem, and the neonate is likely to deteriorate rapidly. Such a case is reported with a successful outcome, probably the first survivor with a right CDH and EA. Management guidelines for such a case are discussed.
