Two cases of bilateral posterolateral diaphragmatic hernia are reported, due to their rarity. Both rapidly led to death. One of them was associated with severe malformations of the upper limbs. An abnormality of the cervical segment of the neural crest at the end of the first month of pregnancy may explain both types of malformations.

This case report describes the difficulty in predicting the outcomes for a fetus affected with both left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia and second-trimester pre-viable rupture of membranes. Despite the reserved prognosis at the time of diagnosis, a favourable outcome was obtained. The case highlights the relevance of established prognosticators such as the observed/expected lung/head ratio and also underscores the importance of balanced counselling and providing parents with realistic expectations and appropriate support.

We report the case of a four-month-old male infant diagnosed incidentally with bilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernias. Our patient was found to have chest asymmetry during an unrelated hospital visit and bilateral diaphragmatic defects were confirmed on cross-sectional imaging. Surgical repair of a right-sided Bochdalek hernia and a left-sided Morgagni hernia was performed with excellent outcomes.

Diaphragmatic hernia is an unusual finding, especially in emergency settings and in the absence of trauma. Imaging plays a crucial role, with various CT signs of diaphragmatic rupture having been described, including the "dangling diaphragm," "absent diaphragm," "collar sign," "hump sign," "fascia sign," and "dependent viscera sign". We report an unusual case of a 53-year-old woman who presented with exertional dyspnea and asthenia.

Background: To retrospectively investigate the developmental outcomes at 3 years of age in patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) using a multicenter collaborative research approach.
Methods: We evaluated patients with CDH and no other malformations born between 2010 and 2016 in seven facilities in the Japanese CDH Research Group. The developmental quotient (DQ) at 3 years of age was evaluated using the Kyoto Scale of Psychological Development 2001, the most standardized scale in Japan.
