title: Diaphragmatic hernia in Down's syndrome.
abstract: Three Saudi children with Down's syndrome were found to have anterior diaphragmatic hernias. They all needed surgical correction. In Down's syndrome, besides congenital heart disease and recurrent chest infection, a diaphragmatic hernia should be looked for as a possible cause of respiratory distress and chest deformity.
