Anterolateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia with omphalocele: a case report and literature review. American journal of medical genetics. Part A Scahill, M. D., Maak, P., Kunder, C., Halamek, L. P. 2013; 161 (3): 585-8

Abstract

The combination of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and omphalocele is quite rare but can be seen in several syndromes. We report on a female newborn with this combination that had not been diagnosed prenatally. The patient suffered respiratory failure that persisted despite intensive care support, suggesting severe secondary pulmonary hypoplasia. Autopsy revealed the combination of an anterolateral CDH and omphalocele in the absence of other anomalies. We believe this to be the first such case to be reported in the literature.
