We report a case of an iatrogenic congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) following left pleuroamniotic shunting at 20 weeks gestation for severe left pleural effusion. The infant developed respiratory difficulty after birth and was diagnosed with left CDH on imaging with the intraoperative findings confirming the hernia to be at an unusual site and likely secondary to the shunting.

High Index Of Suspicion

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major malformation found in newborns and babies but rarely in adults. CDH is defined by the presence of a defect in the diaphragm, which permits the herniation of abdominal contents into the thorax. The diagnosis of CDH is based on clinical history, examinations and is confirmed by plain X-ray films and computed tomography scans. Here we report a case which was misdiagnosed at another centre as pleural effusion and managed by placement of intercostal tube drainage and later on diagnosed to be case of Morgnani-Larrey parasternal diaphragmatic hernia. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major malformation found in newborns and babies but rarely in adults. CDH is defined by the presence of a defect in the diaphragm, which permits the herniation of abdominal contents into the thorax. The diagnosis of CDH is based on clinical history, examinations and is confirmed by plain X-ray films and computed tomography scans. The purpose of reporting this case is to provide information on late-presenting CDH and to emphasize that a high index of suspicion is required for diagnosis and to avoid unwanted complications.
