Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a common thoracic abnormality with increased risk of associated abnormalities. The etiology of congenital diaphragmatic hernia is not exactly known and the plausible reason is the defect of the amuscular component of the primordial diaphragm. Although, fetal heart abnormalities are the most common associated abnormalities in fetuses with congenital heart defect, aortic coarctation is occurred rarely. We present a case with the prenatal diagnosis of the co-occurrence of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and aortic coarctation.
