Prenatal Ultrasonographic Diagnosis of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia at 11 Weeks Gestation

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a major malformation. Early diagnosis is in itself an important factor for the prediction of the outcome. The authors present a case of left-sided fetal diaphragmatic hernia diagnosed by transvaginal ultrasound examination at 10 weeks, 5 days gestation.
