Congenital diaphragmatic hernia; masquarding as

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs in about 1 in 3000 births among which over 90 % of the patients will be diagnosed either antenatally or will present with respiratory distress in the first few hours of life and about 5 % to 30 % of diaphragmatic hernias present beyond the neonatal period. The extent of herniation of abdominal viscera into the thorax may vary, leading to acute or intermittent symptoms. The inappropriate insertion of a chest drain, although relieving the symptoms temporarily, may result in serious consequences by damaging intrathoracic abdominal viscera
