Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Author:AffiliationCourse Code: Course title Instructor DateCongenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is caused by a hole in the thin muscle sheet separating the chest from the abdomen known as the diaphragm. This condition then results in movement of part or all of the fetal abdominal organs into the chest cavity via the hole. Once organs such as the stomach, liver, spleen and intestines occupy the chest cavity, the fetal lungs lack room for development, resulting in the baby developing breathing problems (pulmonary hypoplasia). Due to having developed in a compressed situation, normal lung development is limited until after birth. The occurrence of pulmonary hypoplasia due to underdeveloped lungs leads to abnormalities that affect the amount of alveoli in the baby’s lungs that are available for air entry. In addition, the capacity of blood vessels to carry blood in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension), and the distance travelled by oxygen in order to reach the blood vessels in the lungs is also affected. Generally, the disease is reported as quite rare and occurring in one
