Abstract

A case of congenital diaphragmatic hernia diagnosed sonographically in utero at 20 weeks gestation is described. In previous reports, this diagnosis has been made as early as 15 weeks gestation'. Recognition of this severe abnormality in the second trimester is beneficial. The parents can interrupt the pregnancy. Or, prompt operative treatment after delivery of an infant with this disorder may minimize the development of hypoxemia and acidosis commonly occur in these cases. In addition, appropriate parental counseling may be started.
