In this study we aimed to present a case of congenital Bochdaleck hernia. We investigated a 40 weeks old child, with a pregnancy carried out in a public hospital in Passo Fundo, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. We suggest that if diagnosis occurs in the prenatal period, the prognosis of this disease improves. As a consequence, it allows the parity of the fetus to occur in a higher complexity center, optimizing the chances of survival. © 2012 Lava et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.engDiaphragmaticHerniaInfantNewbornPrenatal Careacute kidney failureApgar scoreatelectasisblood testis barriercase reportcongenital diaphragm herniacongenital diaphragmatic bochdaleck herniacongenital heart diseaseechocardiographyheart arrestheart murmurhernioplastyhumanlung insufficiencymaleneonatal respiratory distress syndromenewbornnewborn intensive careperitoneal dialysispositive end expiratory pressureresuscitationthorax radiographyvaginal deliveryX rayArtigo10.1186/1755-7682-5-30Acesso aberto2-s2.0-848679000282-s2.0-84867900028.pdf
