Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a diaphragmatic developmental defect that usually presents prenatally or in the neonatal period. Although its late presentation is associated with a better prognosis, the diagnosis is sometimes a challenge due to its non-specific course. It is interesting to know its existence in clinical presentations that are difficult to diagnose.
