Prenatal imaging of a fetus with the rare combination of a right congenital diaphragmatic hernia and a giant omphalocele.
[congenital diaphragmatic hernia]
A
co
-existing
right
congenital
diaphragmatic
hernia
and
omphalocele
is
rare
.
We
present
images
of
a
fetus
diagnosed
with
this
rare
combination
of
anomalies
.
Early
neonatal
death
occurred
immediately
after
full-term
birth
due
to
severe
respiratory
insufficiency
.
In
this
case
,
disturbance
of
chest
wall
development
due
to
the
omphalocele
rather
than
the
diaphragmatic
hernia
was
considered
as
the
main
cause
of
lung
hypoplasia
.
Our
experience
suggests
that
caution
should
be
exercised
for
severe
respiratory
insufficiency
in
a
neonate
with
an
omphalocele
and
diaphragmatic
hernia
,
even
in
the
absence
of
an
intra-
thoracic
liver
,
one
of
the
indicators
of
poor
outcome
for
congenital
diaphragmatic
hernia
.
