The late-presenting congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a rare entity that corresponds to the 5 - 20% of all congenital diaphragmatic hernia cases. The clinical manifestations ,diagnosis and treatment differ from the neonatal presentation in the absence of pulmonary hypoplasia and pulmonary hypertension. The wide clinical spectrum of the late-presenting diaphragmatic hernia or its incidental finding on radiological images can lead to a challenging diagnosis. The delay in the detection and approach increases the morbidity and mortality, and darkens the prognosis.
We are presenting a case of an eighth year-old scholar who is diagnosed with a congenital left diaphragmatic hernia, as well as a review of the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of this pathology.
