Congenital diaphragmatic hernia, Meckel′s diverticulum and malrotation in a 3-month-old infant

Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common developmental anomaly that usually presents in the neonatal period. It is known to be associated with cardiac, renal, genital and chromosomal anomalies. Late presentation of CDH (beyond 1-month of age) is seen in 13% of the cases. Malrotation is reported in 42% of CDH cases. We report a case of a 3-month-old infant with concurrent CDH, Meckel′s diverticulum and malrotation. This is the first case report of such an association in an infant.
