Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia - a late onset of rare case
Abstract Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is one of the most severe birth defects, with extremely high neonatal mortality and morbidity. The average gestational age for its diagnosis is 22-24 weeks, but in our clinical case, the echographic signs suggestive of CDH were not present at that gestational age. It is therefore important to value the fetal morphological study in the 3rd trimester ultrasound to detect malformations of late manifestation, such as this one. Ultrasound is crucial for prenatal diagnosis, in order to allow adequate surveillance and planning of delivery in a terciary hospital.
