Rare case of intravitam prenatal and early postnatal diagnosis of bilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia in fetus and neonate

Purpose. Presented a rare clinical case of the neonate with bilateral diaphragmatic hernia, that was prenatally diagnosed on the 22nd gestation week. Bilateral congenital diaphragmatic hernia is considered incompatible with life and is the main cause of intrauterine fetal demise. I did not find any case of reported intravitam diagnosis of bilateral diaphragmatic hernia in fetus and neonate, therefore our case represents an extremely rare and interesting in the academic as well as practical point of view for obstetricians, neonatologists, pediatric surgeons, genetics and prenatal medicine specialists. Key words: congenital malformation, bilateral diaphragmatic hernias, intravitam diagnosis, neonate.
