Answers Neo quiz

X-ray: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia
Morgagni/Anterior hernia
Bochdalek hernia (A) is the most common type

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) refers to a developmental defect of the formation of the diaphragm that, in most individuals, is evident at birth.

CDH is characterized by:

Incomplete formation/muscularization of the diaphragm resulting in absence or deficiency of the diaphragm, or
Eventration resulting in elevation of a portion of the diaphragm that is thinned as a result of incomplete muscularization. The prevalence of CDH is estimated at 3–3.6/10,000 live births.
Posterolateral hernias comprise approximately 80–90% of all CDHs. About 85% of Bochdalek hernias occur on the left side, about 10% on the right, and approximately 5% are bilateral.^[1]
