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.

Patients with complex diseases are mostly treated in a multidisciplinary setting. The impact of multidisciplinary care cannot be emphasized enough as it has the potential to significantly increase survival and, in some cases, help avoid a risky treatment approach. The aim of this case illustration is to emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary treatment and learn from the different approaches that can be made while treating such patients.

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).

: This study aims to evaluate long-term physical and motor performance in children aged 3-6 years following congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) surgery, in comparison with healthy peers. While existing research emphasizes prognostic factors such as the lung to heart ratio (LHR) and liver position, few studies address physical outcomes in early childhood post-surgery. : A total of 31 children who underwent neonatal CDH surgery (study group) and 41 age-matched healthy children (reference group) were assessed.
