Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a sporadic mal-formation, occasionally familiar, with a high mortality rate (40-70%). This high level of mortality is related to the presence of pulmonary hypoplasia with thecoexistence of other malformations, which are frequently neurological. Posterior-lateral diaphragmatichernia was described for the first time by Bochdalekin 1848. It is the most frequent diaphragmatic defectin the neonate manifested as difficulty with respiration at birth. We describe a case with a diagnosis of severe diaphragmatic hernia with other associated foetal abnormalities. La hernia diafragmática congénita es una malformación esporádica, o rara vez familiar, que tiene una elevada tasa de mortalidad (40-70%), relacionada con lapresencia de hipoplasia pulmonar y la coexistencia deotras malformaciones, frecuentemente de carácter neurológico. La hernia diafragmática posterolateral fuedescrita por primera vez por Bochdalek en 1848; es eldefecto diafragmático más frecuente en el neonato yse manifiesta como dificultad respiratoria al nacimiento. Describimos un caso de diagnóstico de hernia diafragmática grave asociado a otras anomalías fetales.
