Objective: To report results of audiometric evaluations in high-risk congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors and their exposure to audiological risk factors (mechanical ventilation, high frequency oscillation, aminoglycoside therapy and neuromuscular blocking agents).
Design: All newborns with high-risk congenital diaphragmatic hernia born between January 2003 and June 2009 were treated consecutively at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Pediatric Hospital, University of Padova. Thirty-two survived and 26 of them underwent formal audiological evaluation (tonal and speech audiometry, otoacoustic emission, and immitance measurements) and follow up.
Results: Twenty-one children had normal hearing; 4 had conductive hearing loss, which was successfully treated; and 1 had severe sensorineural hearing loss and suffers from Turner syndrome.
Conclusions: Our series revealed a lower prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss in high-risk congenital diaphragmatic hernia survivors than in other studies, suggesting that the association between hearing loss and congenital diaphragmatic hernia has yet to be accurately defined and fully elucidated.

Ectopic thyroid is a rare congenital anomaly that results from failure of decent from the foramen cecum to the primitive thyroid during the stage of embryogenesis. The specific prevalence ranges from 1 in 100,000-300,000 population. Development, genetics, and mutation play a role in the formation of ectopic thyroid.

Bochdalek hernias (BHs), though rare, are the most common congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Their coexistence with an ectopic intrathoracic kidney (IK), found in 0.25% of cases, is even rarer.

Introduction: We developed standardized electronic medical record templates (EMR-temp) for use in ambulatory prenatal surgical consultations for surgical fetal anomalies (SFAs). Our aim was to evaluate EMR-temp impact in provider documentation in prenatal care of SFA.
Methods: Prenatal consultations for SFAs at a single institution were retrospectively reviewed (2019-2022).

Introduction: Congenital pyloric web or diaphragm are rare causes of Gastric Outlet Obstruction (GOO) after infancy, representing approximately 1 % of gastrointestinal obstructions. While it typically presents in the neonatal period with nonbilious vomiting, delayed diagnosis beyond infancy is exceptionally rare.
Presentation Of The Case: An 11-year-old girl with presented with one-month history of postprandial vomiting.
