Difficulties in the Hemodynamic Assessment of the Newborn with Prenatally Treated Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia.
[congenital diaphragmatic hernia]
Congenital
diaphragmatic
hernia
(
CDH
)
is
a
malformation
with
a
diverse
clinical
picture
.
Its
severity
can
be
assessed
prenatally
using
the
lung
area
to
head
circumference
ratio
(
LHR
)
.
LHR
lower
than
1
as
associated
with
high
mortality
is
an
indication
for
prenatal
treatment
involving
occlusion
of
fetal
trachea
.
Before
such
treatment
other
congenital
malformations
must
be
excluded
.
Assessment
of
circulatory
system
in
these
patients
is
difficult
.
Heart
is
compressed
by
viscera
in
the
thorax
that
decreases
blood
return
to
the
left
atrium
,
and
structures
of
the
left
heart
may
be
smaller
than
in
healthy
fetuses
.
The
echocardiographic
picture
may
be
similar
to
some
congenital
defects
of
the
left
heart
.
Differentiation
between
structural
and
functional
cardiac
abnormalities
is
difficult
but
essential
for
diagnostic
and
therapeutic
decisions
in
the
most
severe
type
of
CDH
.
The
authors
present
problems
with
interpretation
of
hemodynamic
disturbances
in
a
neonate
with
prenatally
diagnosed
and
treated
severe
CDH
.
