Overview

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a condition that often presents in infants, but there are differential diagnosis' to be considered. Some of these include congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, bronchopulmonary sequestration, bronchogenic cyst, cystic teratoma, neurogenic tumors, and pulmonary agenesis. Hiatal hernia is often seen in adults rather than neonates, but should still be differentiated from congenital hernias. Various imaging modalities may be utilized to further differentiate the potential diagnosis'.

Differential Diagnosis

Differential Diagnosis for CDH [1][2]
Condition Cause Presenting Symptoms Workup to differentiate condition from CDH
Congenital Cystic Adenomatoid Malformation [3] Abnormal cell proliferation and apoptosis; a developmental abnormality Symptoms present upon compression of surrounding structures in the mediastinum upon growth of cyst Ultrasound
Bronchopulmonary Sequestration [4] Lung tissue unconnected to the tracheobronchial tree Often asymptomatic; larger defects may present with respiratory distress, high output cardiac failure or pleural hemorrhage Imaging (digital angiography, CT, MRA)
Bronchogenic Cyst [5] Abnormal budding of the ventral foregut These often remain asymptomatic and undiagnosed, but may be detected in the setting of an underlying infection CT
Cystic Teratoma [6] Rare tumors composed of cells derived from the endoderm, ectoderm, and or mesoderm Often asymptomatic; an increase in size may result in increased abdominal girth and gastrointestinal and urinary symptoms due to compression Ultrasound, Pathology specimen examination
Neurogenic Tumors A lesion of neural crest origin most commonly found in the posterior mediastinum Symptoms of compression of surrounding structures; cough, shortness of breath, hoarseness CT, MRI [7]
Hiatal Hernia (Paraesophageal) [8] Herniation of a portion of the stomach through the phrenoesophageal membrane Heart burn, Regurgitation, Dysphagia; most commonly present in adults Manometry, Endoscopy
Pulmonary agenesis [9] Failure of lung bud development resulting in complete or partial absence of lung tissue; associated with congenital defects Respiratory distress in newborns Chest X-ray
