We present a case of a middle-aged woman with right hemidiaphragm agenesis, which became evident after a blunt injury. Ultrasound, X-ray, and computed tomography confirmed the diagnosis, and the diaphragmatic congenital defect was closed by insertion of a polypropylene mesh prosthesis.

Postnatal management of preterm infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Pediatr Surg Int
January 2025
Division of Neonatology, The Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in the preterm population is increasingly common in the current era of fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) therapy. There remains a lack of clinical guidance for clinicians and surgeons regarding optimal management strategies for such infants. We aimed to describe our experience in managing preterm CDH in a single quaternary neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Background: The landscape of co-occurring birth defects among infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) remains underexplored.
Aims: This study aims to elucidate the complex patterns of co-occurring defects in Chinese population.
Materials And Methods: We analyzed cases from the Chinese Birth Defects Monitoring Network (2007-2019) with CDH that presented along with at least one additional defect but without a syndromic diagnosis.

Objective: To explore outcomes of fetuses with severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) after fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) treatment.
Case Report: Fetuses diagnosed with severe CDH and taken FETO for intrauterine treatment from January 2020 to December 2023 were recruited. There was no significant difference in general conditions, as well as O/E LHR and measurements related to CDH (p > 0.
Assessment of Brain Development in Children With Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia - an Automated Brain Segmentation Approach.
In Vivo
December 2024
Department of Neuroradiology, Medical Faculty Mannheim, Heidelberg University, Mannheim, Germany.
Background/aim: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a critical condition affecting newborns, which often results in long-term morbidities, including neurodevelopmental delays, which affect cognitive, motor, and behavioral functions. These delays are believed to stem from prenatal and postnatal factors, such as impaired lung development and chronic hypoxia, which disrupt normal brain growth. Understanding the underlying mechanisms of these neurodevelopmental impairments is crucial for improving prognosis and patient outcomes, particularly as advances in treatments like ECMO have increased survival rates but also pose additional risks for neurodevelopment.

December 2024
Division of Pediatric Surgery, Department of Surgery, Max Rady College of Medicine, University of Manitoba, and Children's Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba, AE402-820 Sherbrook Street, Winnipeg, MB, R3A 1S1, Canada.
Purpose: Circular RNAs (circRNAs) are stable, non-coding RNAs with tissue- and developmental-specific expression making them suitable biomarkers for congenital anomalies. Current circRNA discovery pipelines have focused on human and mouse. We aim to bridge this gap by combining bioinformatics resources and used circtial1 as a model candidate in the nitrofen rat model of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).
