Abstract
We report a case of an iatrogenic congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) following left pleuroamniotic shunting at 20 weeks gestation for severe left pleural effusion. The infant developed respiratory difficulty after birth and was diagnosed with left CDH on imaging with the intraoperative findings confirming the hernia to be at an unusual site and likely secondary to the shunting. © 2015 S.
