Right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia associated with hepatopulmonary fusion and congenital pulmonary malformation

Abstract

Hepatopulmonary fusion is an uncommon malformation associated with right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We are presenting a case of a full-term male newborn, who was diagnosed with right sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia. During the surgical procedure, hepatopulmonary fusion was incidentally detected. We aimed to describe a patient clinical manifestation, intraoperative finding and the management dilemma.
