Congenital diaphragmatic hernia--does the side of the defect influence the incidence of associated malformations?

Abstract

Patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) frequently have associated anomalies. Experiments in the nitrofen CDH model have shown differential embryonic cell death patterns in rodents suggesting unique mechanisms in the formation of right-sided (RCDH) or left-sided (LCDH) diaphragmatic hernia. These findings provide insight into the pathogenesis of CDH and may aid our understanding on the spectrum of associated anomalies commonly observed in humans. This study therefore set out to test the hypothesis that the side of the diaphragmatic defect in humans is related to the incidence and severity of coexistent organ malformations. The medical and autopsy records of 301 CDH patients presenting to two institutions over a 23-year period were examined to analyze these factors. One hundred patients (33%) were found to have one or more associated anomalies. The incidence of multiple-RCDH (10%) versus LCDH (7.3%) and cardiac anomalies-RCDH (10%) versus LCDH (8.5%) was similar in both groups of patients. However, the hypoplastic heart syndrome was a unique feature in 5 of 22 patients (23%) with LCDH who had cardiac abnormalities. This cardiac anomaly may be related developmentally to LCDH. The cellular mechanisms underlying the gen...Continue Reading

Birth Defects

Birth defects encompass structural and functional alterations that occur during embryonic or fetal development and are present since birth. The cause may be genetic, environmental or unknown and can result in physical and/or mental impairment. Here is the latest research on birth defects.
