[Fetal diaphragmatic hernia. Concomitant anomalies].
According to different investigations congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with other anomalies in 29% to 53%. The aim of our study was to present our experience with the prenatal diagnosis of CDH and to analyse the associated anomalies. For a ten-year period there were 18 fetuses born after 24 gestational week with CDH. The associated anomalies were found in 66.7%, most common they involved the nervous system, the heart and the kidneys. Our results confirm that there is a concentration of the most severe and with the worst prognosis cases of CDH in the bid neonatal centers.
