Is congenital diaphragmatic hernia serious?

Severe congenital diaphragmatic hernia in children is caused by abnormal embryonic development, which leads to diaphragm defect, abdominal organ hernia into chest cavity and lung dysplasia. Diaphragmatic hernia can affect cardiopulmonary function and general condition to varying degrees, and it is one of newborns and mild and severe cases.

It is reported that the incidence of congenital septal hernia is 1:5000, and its mortality is 40% to 60%. The main causes of death are congenital septal hernia, pulmonary dysplasia, thoracic fissure hernia, retrosternal hernia, esophageal fracture hernia and fetal diaphragmatic hernia in children, which need to be examined by obstetric ultrasound experts and fetal echocardiography experts. Whether there are other malformations and cardiac abnormalities combined with chromosomal abnormalities, especially trisomy syndrome, those who take conservative treatment should adjust their diet, properly use a sticky diet, guide their lives, use semi-sitting position more often, and pat their backs properly after meals.
