Delayed presentation of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia must be kept in mind whenever dealing with a child with difficult to resolve pneumonia or history of recurrent chest infections. It is always recommended to order a two-view chest X-ray in order to increase its sensitivity. However, antenatal diagnosis must be made to arrange the in utero transfer of the baby to be delivered in a tertiary care hospital that offer the most advanced medical support and final surgical repair. |
