title: [Maternal diaphragmatic hernia during pregnancy: report of two cases].
abstract: We report two cases of maternal diaphragmatic hernia during pregnancy. Diaphragmatic hernia is an unusual and severe disease. Maternal and fetal prognosis are threatened. Diagnosis is uncertain when confronted to respiratory and digestive symptoms without any specificity. The chest X ray is the first exam to perform. The objective of this work is to discuss the management of such a pathology in terms of ways of delivery and surgical cure of hernia.
