title: Delayed presentations of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
abstract: The delayed presentation of a congenital diaphragmatic hernia may include symptoms of acute respiratory distress or gastrointestinal obstruction. We review the presentation and management of the different types of diaphragmatic hernias. In addition, we present a case of twins with a left-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia through the foramen of Morgagni and an associated malrotation of the gastrointestinal tract.
