Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a rare, potentially life-threatening condition characterized by abdominal organs protruding into the thoracic cavity due to diaphragmatic abnormality.

The 13-year-old male from Ahmedabad presented with increasingly worsening dyspnea and intermittent left-sided chest discomfort, diagnosed with a left-sided CDH involving the entire kidney, bowel loops, left splenic flexure, and pancreatic tail, undergoing successful exploratory laparotomy and closure of the defect with an uneventful recovery.

CDH, typically detected shortly after birth, could manifest with varied symptoms and was associated with life-threatening conditions but, in some cases, remained unidentified until adulthood, with potential risk factors including maternal factors and alternatives in diagnosis encompassing various thoracic conditions.

The diaphragmatic defect requiressurgical management, highlighting the importance of safe surgical techniques and contributing to the limited documentation of cases in Gujarat, India.
