AB  - Congenital  diaphragmatic  hernia  (CDH)  consists  of  a  developmental  defect  of  the  diaphragm  with  herniation  of  the  abdominal  contents  in  the  chest  (Figure  138-1).  It  is  a  rare  condition  with  an  incidence  of  1:2000  to  5000  live  births  with  an  estimated  1.5:1  male  to  female  ratio.  Most  cases  are  isolated  but  may  be  associated  with  other  congenital  syndromes  or  chromosomal  abnormalities.  More  than  95%  of  the  defects  are  due  to  a  defect  in  the  posterolateral  diaphragm  (at  the  posterior  foramen  of  Bochdalek)  and  80%  of  these  are  left  sided.  Less  commonly  defects  occur  in  the  anterior  midline  (at  the  foramen  of  Morgagni)  or  in  the  crural  diaphragm  (i.e.,  paraesophageal).  Complete  diaphragmatic  agenesis  is  rare.
