SANCHEZ, Edgar; ARENAS, Jaime; RODRIGUEZ, Miguel Alberto  and  MUNOZ, Esmeralda. Diaphragmatic hernia and congenital tracheal stenosis: a case report. Rev Colomb Obstet Ginecol [online]. 2005, vol.56, n.4, pp.310-312. ISSN 0034-7434.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is not a frequently occurring congenital anomaly. Despite increased prenatal diagnostic ability, significant advances in neonatal care and new surgical techniques, it still has a high mortality. Portends of major malformation contributes towards a poorer outcome. A case from the Police Hospital in Bogota, Colombia is presented which had congenital tracheal stenosis, a condition which prevented planned management of the airway at birth together, working together with the neonatal service.

Keywords : congenital diaphragmatic hernia; tracheal stenosis; congenital airway obstruction.
