Abstract
|
|
|
Most of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) cases are diagnosed at prenatal period or immediately after birth with severe respiratory symptom. The classic triad, which is respiratory distress, apparent dextrocardia and a scaphoid abdomen, is usually seen in this period. Several case reports have described older infants and children with a wide spectrum of symptoms of CDH, whereas extremely few cases were reported in neonatal period except classic triad such as straungulation of the bowel. These atypical manifestations can lead physician to delayed diagnosis. We report two cases of CDH newborns. First case was diagnosed with pneumoperitoneum following tension pneumothorax, transient diaphragm eventration on 5 days after birth. The other case was diagnosed with failure to thrive and mediastinal mass on 30 days after birth. These cases suggest physicians to consider CDH in late newborn period with pneumoperitoneum following tension pneumothorax, transient diaphragm eventration, failure to thrive, and mediastinal mass.
