Introdução: A hérnia diafragmática congênita é a falha do fechamento embrionário do músculo diafragmático, resultando em um defeito de continuidade. Esta patologia pode ocorrer pela passagem de estruturas do abdome através de um defeito no diafragma, ou haver herniação parcial do estômago através do hiato esofágico, paralisia frênica com deslocamento do conteúdo abdominal para cima, mas sem herniação, e, eventração do diafragma. Casuística: Foi relatado um caso de hérnia diafragmática congênita, hérnia de Bochdalek, em um recém – nascido do sexo feminino, que nos ultra-sonografias da gestante apresentavam sem alterações. O diagnóstico da patologia foi feito apenas após a realização de raios-X de tórax e abdome para confirmar a posição do cateterismo umbilical venoso. Discussão/Conclusão: A apresentação clínica da hérnia de diafragmática congênita inclui desconforto respiratório moderado a grave com repercussão sistêmica. O diagnóstico, em cerca de 80% dos casos, é feito por ultrassom pré-natal. O tratamento proposto foi intubação endotraqueal com ventilação mecânica e programação para correção cirúrgica da hérnia. Após correção cirúrgica da patologia, a paciente permaneceu na unidade de terapia intensiva neonatal por 21 dias para acompanhamento de pós – operatório e intercorrências na evolução. Palavras-chave: hérnia diafragmática congênita, recém-nascido, hérnia de BochdalekABSTRACTIntroduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is the failure of embryonic closure of the diaphragm, resulting in a lack of continuity. This condition can occur by passing structures of the abdomen through a defect in the diaphragm, or be part herniation of the stomach through the esophageal hiatus, phrenic paralysis with displacement of abdominal contents up but no herniation, and eventration of the diaphragm. Case Report: We report a case congenital diaphragmatic hernia, such as Bochdalek hernia, in a new - born female that in ultrasounds of pregnant women showed without change. The diagnosis of the disease was made only after conducting X-ray of the chest and abdomen to confirm the position of umbilical venous catheterization. Discussion/Conclusion: Clinical presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia includes moderate to severe respiratory distress with systemic repercussions. The diagnosis in about 80% of the cases is done by ultrasound prenatally. The proposed treatment was endotracheal intubation with mechanical ventilation and programming for surgical correction of the hernia. After surgical pathology, the patient remained in neonatal intensive care unit for 21 days to monitor post - operative complications and evolution.  Keywords: congenital diaphragmatic hernia, newborn, Bochdalek hernia

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a common developmental anomaly encountered by paediatric surgeons. It is known to be associated with extradiaphragmatic malformations, which include cardiac, renal, genital, and chromosomal abnormalities. Herein, we report a newborn born with concurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Meckel’s diverticulum, and heterotopic pancreatic tissue. This is the first case report of such a triad with description of possible mechanisms of the development.

The diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Survival of neonates with CDH has improved recently, although the clinical course is complicated by sequelae of hypoplastic pulmonary parenchyma and vasculature, pulmonary hypertension, ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) mismatch, reduced pulmonary function and poor somatic growth. In this case report, we describe an infant with an antenatal diagnosis of CDH with a poor prognosis who underwent initial surgery followed by a tracheostomy but had a worsening clinical course due to a large area of ventilated but poorly perfused lung based on a V/Q nuclear scintigraphy scan. The emphysematous left lung was causing mediastinal shift and compression of the right lung, further compromising gas exchange. The infant had clinical improvement following bronchial blockade of the under-perfused left lung. This paved the way for further management with resection of the under-perfused lung lobe and continued clinical improvement. We present the novel use of selective bronchial blockade in a challenging case of CDH to determine if surgical lung resection may benefit the infant. We also review the physiology of gas exchange during the use of a bronchial occluder and the relevant literature.

Abstract Introduction We aimed to establish and validate a risk score for fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) using only prenatal ultrasound findings. Material and Methods Derivation (2011–2016, n = 350) and validation (2006–2010, n = 270) cohorts were obtained from a Japanese CDH study group database. Using a logistic regression analysis, we created a prediction model and weighted scoring system from the derivation dataset and calculated the odds ratio of an unsatisfactory prognosis (death within 90 days of life or hospitalization duration exceeding 180 days). Five adverse prognostic factors obtained using prenatal ultrasound, including an observed/expected lung area-to-head circumference ratio (o/eLHR) <25%, liver herniation occupying more than one-third of the thoracic space, thoracic stomach, right-side CDH, and severe malformations, were used as predictors. The obtained model was validated using the validation cohort. Results The unsatisfactory prognosis prediction model was obtained based on the adjusted odds ratios. The C statistics of the model were 0.83 and 0.80 in the derivation and validation datasets, respectively. The five variables were weighted proportionally to their adjusted odds ratios for an unsatisfactory prognosis (o/eLHR <25%, 1 point; liver herniation occupying more than one-third of the thoracic space, 1 point; thoracic stomach, 1 point; right-side CDH, 2 points; and severe malformations, 3 points). Unsatisfactory prognosis rates for the low- (0–2 points), intermediate- (3–5 points), and high-risk (6–8 points) groups were 17, 46, and 100%, respectively (p < 0.001), in the validation cohort. Conclusion Our simple risk score effectively predicted the prognosis of fetuses with CDH.
