“…On the para-clinical level, chest X-ray or better with a naso-gastric tube can be used to diagnose [8]. This diagnosis can be confirmed by oeso-gastro-duodenal transit, which shows an opacification of the stomach in the thorax, but this examination fails to underestimate the degree of hernia [9]. Scanning and scintigraphy of the liver and spleen are useful for diagnosis in right diaphragmatic hernias [10].…”

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is the outcome of the abdominal contents in the thorax by a breach caused by a failure to close the pleuroperitoneal canal. It is a rare and serious disease. Our teaching hospital had registered these seven last years five cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, operated, but never published. We report the most recent one, a case of a newborn baby seen at the 5th hour of life for respiratory distress. Initial examination revealed: an asymmetric thorax, respiratory distress with 88% oxygen saturation at ambient air, tachycardia and abolition of vesicular murmur in the left lung field. L-abdomen was flat and soft. Thoraco-abdominal radiography revealed a clear left intra-thoracic image with mass effect on the left lung parenchyma. He has benefited from a reduction of the herniated visceras and a successful closing of the breach. The operation had few after-effects after five months follow-up with a very good recovery of the cardio-pulmonary function.

“…In one series, 18% of the cases of CDH were subjected to insertion of chest drain. 1 The diagnosis can be confirmed by contrast follow through study 8 but it may underestimate the extent of herniation due to spontaneous reduction in the erect posture by the hydrostatic pressure of the barium. Computed tomography and liver-spleen scintigraphy seem to be the best diagnostic options in children with right-sided CDH.…”

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) generally presents with respiratory distress in the neonatal period. Late onset CDH is less common and is associated with a wide range of clinical symptoms. We report a case of a 4-year-old child presenting with sudden onset of dizziness, abdominal pain and vomiting after swimming. Radiological investigations showed a left CDH with mediastinal shift. She gradually developed respiratory distress after admission. Urgent operation showed that the contents of the hernia included stomach, spleen, small and large bowels. This case highlights the importance of suspicion of CDH, proper clinical examination and investigation of children with acute non-specific gastrointestinal complaints.
