Fetal teratomas are the most common tumors diagnosed prenatally. The majority of these
tumors are benign and cured by complete resection of the mass during the neonatal period …

Most fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) diagnosed before 24 weeks'

In isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia, prenatal prediction is made based on
measurements of lung size and the presence of liver herniation into the thorax. A subset of …

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a major cause of refractory respiratory failure in
the newborn. Pulmonary hypoplasia often limits survival. Vitamin A (Vit A) is an important …

Over half of the cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia are picked up prenatally. Prenatal
assessment aims to rule out associated anomalies and to make an individual prognosis …

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a condition that results from incomplete
