선천성 횡경막 탈장증치험 1예


Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia remains a disease with high neonatal mortality rate despite recent advance in neonatal intensive care. We experienced one case of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia with acute respiratory distress and left pulmonary hypoplasia in the neonate. The simple closure was performed through left paramedian approach after diagnosis. The postoperative course was uneventful except wound disruption. The patient was follow-up with good general condition.
