Overview

Generally, affected neonates present with respiratory distress, but this may be dependent on the size of the defect to some extent. Tachypnea and tachycardia are common findings. The skin often appears cyanotic. Physical exam findings are of a wide variety and present with findings affecting all systems except ENT and hematological. Children born with CDH should be evaluated for structural birth defects such as cardiovascular, CNS, genitourinary, craniofacial, and ocular defects[1]
