Despite advances in postnatal care, patients born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) suffer substantial morbidity and mortality. The present study was undertaken to determine the prognostic influence of prenatally-diagnosed liver herniation in the hemithorax in fetuses with CDH. The medic
We describe a male patient with wide anterior fontanel and metopic suture, hypertelorism, down slanting palpebral fissures, bilateral iris coloboma, omphalocele, and bilateral absence of the diaphragm with herniation of abdominal organs causing pulmonary hypoplasia and death.

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND Although there is strong evidence that genetic factors play a pathogenic role in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), few causal genes have been identified in humans. A number of studies, essentially in animal models, have suggested that disruption of the retinoid signa
