Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The causes for the high mortality in neonates with diaphragmatic hernia are manifold. These cases have to be classified as being in the "fatal zone" of Boix-Ochoa. Analysis of our patients showed that 27 patients belonged to this group, 15 of whom died. The causes of death were hypoplasia of both lungs in 1 case and intracranial haemorrhage in 1. In 6 neonates there were additional complex cardiac malformations and in 1 other severe malformations. The foetal circulation persisted in 3 infants and a tension pneumothorax was the cause in 2, an intestinal obstruction the cause of death in 1 infant. In these 5 last-mentioned children, improvements in treatment might have possibly prevented death. |
