Dr. Dolly B. Singh, Dr. Karandeep Singh Bhatti
Abstract :
Bochdalek hernia, the most common fetal congenital diaphragmatic hernia, presents most commonly on the left posterolateral side of diaphragm and is associated with a poor outcome. We report an antenatal case of bochdalek hernia in a 21 year old G1P0 female at 22w2d of gestation.On ultrasonography, the fetal chest and abdomen sections showed the presence of fetal stomach in thorax, adjacent and posterior to fetal heart. The objective of this report is to create awareness about the presenting ultrasonographic picture of bochdalek hernia, discuss its existing prognostic factors( O/E LHR– observed/expected lung area to head circumference ratio and liver herniation being the most important ones) and therapeutic interventions(Fetoscopic Endotracheal Occlusion being the only clinically applied intervention) which can henceforth help formulate an adequate management plan and hence improve the overall prognosis
