Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a congenital defect in the formation of the diaphragm with high mortality and morbidity for the newborn. The location on the right side corresponds to only 10% of all cases and is associated with a lower survival, especially when there is a liver herniation. The percentage of cases of right congenital diaphragmatic hernia that do not involve liver herniation is not known with precision. An estimated time to obtain the greatest benefit from surgical correction is not known with certainty, in our case it was carried out successfully at 2 days of life, previously achieving adequate hemodynamic and ventilatory stability. Perioperative management in the neonatal intensive care unit is essential to reduce the associated morbidity and mortality. A case of congenital right diaphragmatic hernia treated successfully is presented and the most relevant aspects of the medical-surgical management of this pathology are exposed. MÉD.
