Abstract

ABSTRACT Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a condition with unclear etiology when an opening is
formed in the diaphragm during the period of organogenesis. This opening enables abdominal organs to enter the
thoracic cavity, making pressure on the lungs, heart, blood vessels, neural and other structures. Purpose: To present a
patient at five years of age, born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia and all of the accompanying conditions that
followed after the surgery when he was released from the pediatric hospital, to be taken care at his home and evaluation
of child development. Material and Methods: For this study, the medical history was observed of a child aged five.
His paediatrician, his pediatric surgeon and other medical staff were questioned of all the procedures he had gone
through. He was clinically examined with the methods of inspection, palpation, percussion and auscultation. Paraclinical
methods like radiology and ultrasonography were also applied. Blood analyses were made. Every detail regarding his
medical history compared to his current condition was noted in his medical record. Results and Discussion: Congenital
diaphragmatic hernia is rarely an isolated condition. Unfortunately, many of the accompanying situations and conditions
cannot be predicted while the child is in the womb or at his birth. Conclusion: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a very
serious and delicate condition regarding the physical and mental health of patients and their families. As a condition
with multiple pathological mechanisms, it needs constant monitoring for the wellbeing of patients. Families must be
advised to make frequent appointments to the paediatrician, pediatric surgeon, children’s cardiologist, otolaryngologist
and all the other medical specialists to enable this patient an appropriate and abundant life and development like all
normal children.
