Type 2 CPAM with delayed-onset Bochdalek hernia

Journal of Perinatology volume 32, pages 309–311 (2012)Cite this article

Subjects

At open thoracotomy the patient had resection of a type II congenital CPAM and repair of a small Bochdalek diaphragmatic hernia (BDH). The case emphasizes some very interesting features of BDH and CPAM.

BDH are also called posterolateral diaphragmatic hernias and are believed to form before the 10th week of gestation when the pleuroperitoneal folds, mesodermal structures that contribute connective tissue including muscle to the diaphragm, fail to fuse with the septum transversum, the unmuscularized central portion of the diaphragm.1, 2 Approximately 85% are on the left side, 10% are right-sided and 5% are bilateral.1, 3, 4
