Diaphragmatic hernia is a congenital malformation, often discovered in the neonatal period, and its occurrence in adults is very rare. This patient, who was completely asymptomatic until the age of 62, had developed an intestinal obstruction and went into respiratory failure after surgery for an external auditory canal carcinoma. He was subsequently diagnosed with a late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), thus requiring surgical treatment. Anesthesiologists and critical care physicians should keep in mind the possibility of CDH as well as diaphragmatic relaxation when an unexplained elevation of the diaphragm is observed perioperatively.

Background: Intrathoracic kidney (ITK) is a rare congenital disease, with only about 40 pediatric cases reported worldwide to date. ITK associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is even rarer, and we report a case of an infant with ITK combined with a giant CDH.
Case Description And Management: A six-month-old male infant was hospitalized due to "vomiting for 4 days".

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).

Article Synopsis
- Chromosomal analysis using CMA, MS-MLPA, and trio-WES was conducted on a female fetus with omphalocele, identifying a new 300-kb deletion in the Xq13.1 region affecting the MED12 gene.
- An ultrasound at 18 weeks showed features indicative of Hardikar syndrome, such as cleft lip and palate, diaphragmatic hernia, and heart displacement.
- The findings suggest that the deletion of the MED12 gene may play a critical role in the development of Hardikar syndrome, highlighting the potential impact of haploinsufficiency of this gene.
