Current management of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
The treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) still represents a  challenge, even for the specialised multidisciplinary teams in centres  that provide treatment for CDH. Despite significant progress in the  fields of pathophysiology, prenatal diagnosis, surgical techniques and  intensive care, CDH is a disease still burdened with a high mortality.  Due to the paucity of randomised studies, there are no standard  guidelines for treatment. The present review looks at existing  diagnostic and therapeutic principles based on the available literature.
