Abstract:
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) in most cases presents immediately or within hours after birth with signs of respiratory failure: dyspnea, tachypnea, and cyanosis. Late presentation of CDH (beyond the neonatal period) is less common and represents true diagnostic challenge. Diagnosis of the defect is difficult. Symptoms are non-specific and can be misleading. Late onset of this anomaly must be considered in the differential diagnosis of chronic gastrointestinal or respiratory symptoms. The aim of this report is a case of 17 year old boy with delayed presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
