Abstract

Late presentation of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) as an emergency is uncommon. Here, we report the case series of 3 patients
with CDH presenting to the emergency with similar complaints and had radiological features suggestive of hydropneumothorax and
pleural effusion. Following emergency surgical intervention, the outcome was good. We highlight the radiological feature in CDH that
can be misleading as it can mimic acute respiratory conditions such as pleural effusion or pneumonia.
