Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia- A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 9
Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is an anatomical defect of the diaphragm which allows herniation of abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity, thus causing serious pulmonary and cardiac complications in the neonate. The incidence is 1 in 2000-5000 live births accounting for 8% of all congenital defects1 2 . We report a case of 27 years old, primigravida conceived by in vitro fertilization. She was diagnosed with fetal CDH by ultrasound at 25 weeks 5 days period of gestation. Patient came with spontaneous onset of labour pains at 34 weeks 4 days of gestation and delivered a male baby vaginally, weighing 2.2kg with Apgar score of 3. Baby was immediately intubated and shifted to neonatal ICU. After stabilization baby was taken up for surgical repair but died after 4 hours of surgery.
