Abstract

Late presenting Congenital Diaphragmatic hernia beyond the neonatal period though rare,,mostly misdiagnosed, mistreated and end up in life threatening complications. CDH can occur at any older age and usually present as mild respiratory symptoms to as severe as gastric obstruction or acute obstructive respiratory problems. Perhaps the error at reaching a definitive diagnosis is simply because of the fact, the possibility of CDH at an older age is totally neglected.
