Abstract

Most cases of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) are usually diagnosed during the fetal anatomy scan in the second or third trimester. The late-presenting CDH represents a considerable diagnostic challenge. We describe the presentation in a toddler who attended ER with vomiting. It is important for ER physicians and junior paediatric trainees to consider the possibility of a delayed presentation of CDH in every child presenting with respiratory distress and radiography suggestive of a viscous or cystic lesion within the hemithorax.
