Advances in prenatal diagnosis of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
[congenital diaphragmatic hernia]
Over
the
past
20
years
,
prenatal
detection
of
congenital
diaphragmatic
hernia
(
CDH
)
has
improved
worldwide
,
reaching
up
to
60
%
in
Europe
.
Pulmonary
hypoplasia
and
persistent
pulmonary
hypertension
are
the
two
main
determinants
of
neonatal
mortality
and
morbidity
,
so
new
tools
have
been
focused
on
their
evaluation
.
Fetal
surgery
for
severe
cases
requires
proper
evaluation
of
the
prognosis
of
fetuses
with
CDH
.
Observed-
to
-expected
lung
-
to
-
head
ratio
,
liver
position
,
and
total
lung
volume
measured
by
magnetic
resonance
are
the
prognostic
factors
most
often
used
,
and
have
been
shown
to
correlate
not
only
with
neonatal
mortality
but
also
with
morbidity
.
In
daily
practice
,
pulmonary
hypertension
by
itself
,
although
most
often
associated
with
lung
hypoplasia
,
is
more
difficult
to
predict
.
