What is a congenital diaphragm?

Congenital membrane hernia, or CDH, is a type of congenital malformation or congenital defects where the membrane is not formed correctly. The membrane is the respiratory muscles that separate the chest from the abdomen and, in the case of a congenital hernia, the muscle is incomplete and leaves a gap that can allow organs and intestines moving up from the abdomen to the chest. In severe cases, this may mean that there is not enough space in the chest to develop the lungs normally, resulting in less than usual, and contain less air bags and blood vessels. Children born with this condition usually have difficulty breathing and may be maintained alive with a fan or artificial lungs before the operation is performed to repair the diaphragm and return organs into the abdomen. KDEM can allow the liver, spleen, large and small intestine and stomach to go into the chest cavity. Where the hernia is a loaf on the right, only part of the large intestine, along with the liver, usually moves from the abdomen. Sometimes what is called a bilateral hernia is running outwhere both sides of the diaphragm are affected, but it is such a serious condition that the child usually does not survive.

Another type of congenital diaphragm, hiatus hernia, is rare. The pipe leading from the mouth to the stomach, called the esophagus, usually passes through the hole in the membrane. Hiatus hernia includes part of the stomach pushing the same gap and protruding into the chest. There may be no symptoms, or there may be problems caused by regurgitation from the stomach.

Morgagagni's hernia is a type of congenital diaphragm, which is slightly less rare than hiatus hernia. In Morgagni's hernia, part of the abdomen, usually part of the intestine, protrudes through a hole in the membrane known as Foramen Morgagni. Sometimes there are only mild symptoms and the condition does not appear until adulthood.

treatment of congenital gate hernia depends on the severity of the condition, because if the defect is only smaller, it may not have any consequences and there is no need to act. In difficult cases where the lungs were behindDistrict in development normally, the child may have serious respiratory problems. If there is a chance of survival, blood is first oxygenated using the type of lung or fan, then surgery is performed to close the diaphragm and move any organs and intestines back to the abdominal cavity.
