Reherniation and pseudoreherniation of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
The differential in growth is apparent between lobes within the lung as well as between the two lungs. Any catch-up has clearly not corrected the hypoplasia present at birth. In addition, the small size and distorted shape as well as the abnormal proportions between the trachea and between the two main bronchi point to further functional irregularities based on structural distortion.
