Abstract
|
|
|
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs about one in every 2,000 to 3,000 new born infant and is a condition in which the abdominal contents protrude into the thoracic cavity through a congenital defects in the diaphragm. Congenital diaphragmatic
hernia
is divided into three types : the first is herniation through the foramen of Bochdalek and the second is herniation through the foramen of Morgagni and the other is eventration of diaphragm. Herniation through the foramen of Bochdalek is the most
common
type of congenital diphragmatic hernia and requires emergency operation in the affected newborn infants. Infants born with congenital diaphragmatic hernia have a high mortality which is essentially due to the associated lung hypoplasia and other
major
combined anomalies.
However, there have been several innovations, both in the surgical approach and in techniques of neonatal intensive care, which have improved the outlook for some of these critically ill infants. We experienced one case of herniation through the
foramen
of Bochdalek and presented this case.
