Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Pulmonology

Background:

  • Congenital diaphragmatic hernias are anomalies associated with respiratory issues.
  • Delayed diagnosis can lead to prolonged morbidity.

Observation:

  • A case of an infant presenting with recurrent respiratory distress, initially diagnosed as asthma.
  • The diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed at 18 months of age.

Findings:

  • The specific diagnosis was an aortic hiatal hernia.
  • Surgical repair of the aortic hiatal hernia was performed.
  • Post-operative improvement in daily respiratory symptoms was observed.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of considering congenital diaphragmatic hernias in infants with unexplained respiratory symptoms.
