- Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare entity occurring in 1 in 2000-4000 live births and accounts for 8% of all major congenital anomalies. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major surgical emergency in new-borns because the key to survival depends on the prompt diagnosis and treatments. We reported here a case of right sided congenital diaphragmatic defect with liver hernia in a 7 month old baby, who came to seek medical care at a tertiary care centre in Navi Mumbai for on and off cold and cough with breathlessness after feeds. The baby was tachypneic on examination. Immediately chest X-ray and CT scan of thorax and abdomen was done to assess symptomatically and clinically suspected case of congenital diaphragmatic hernia. It was a case of right sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
