- Abstract
This article, published in the journal Ultrasound in Obstetrics & Gynecology, discusses a study that aimed to evaluate the defect size of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in neonates using prenatal ultrasound parameters. The researchers collected data from 2016 to 2023, including demographics, prenatal ultrasound, and intraoperative status. They found that the contralateral pulmonary artery size and observed/expected lung area to head circumference ratio were significantly smaller in cases with a defect size greater than 50%. The study suggests that prenatal contralateral pulmonary artery size may be helpful in evaluating the defect size in neonatal left-sided CDH.
