Congenital diaphragmatic hernia diagnosed by magnetic resonance imagine in late infancy: Report of one case.
We report the magnetic resonance imagine (MRI) findings of an 11-month-old baby with delay onset of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). The capability of visualizing diaphragmatic discontinuity, connecting bowel segments between abdomen and chest are clearly demonstrated. The various techniques of diagnosing diaphragmatic hernia are described and we emphasize the potential usefulness of MRI in CDH.
