Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is an uncommon disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. The coexistence of it with Down syndrome has been defined and a few case reports have been published in the literature. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia symptoms have similarities with those of gastrointestinal and respiratory system diseases causing a delay in diagnosis. In our case report, a patient who have had frequent gastrointestinal complaints and lower respiratory tract infections from birth has been diagnosed with Morgagni hernia at the age of eleven months. We aimed to emphasize on the clinical findings of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in patients especially with chromosomal anomalies who suffer from frequent respiratory tract infections via this case report.

Özet

Konjential diyafram hernisi nadir görülmekle birlikte morbiditesi ve mortalitesi yüksektir. Down sendromu ile birlikteliği saptanmış olup literatürde sınırlı sayıda olgu bildirilmiştir. Konjenital diyafram hernisinde semptomlar gastrointestinal ve solunum sistemi hastalıklarını taklit edebileceği için tanıda gecikme olmaktadır. Olgumuzda, doğumdan beri sık gastrointestinal şikayetleri olan ve sık alt solunum yolu enfeksiyonu geçiren Down sendromu olan bir hastaya 11 aylık iken Morgagni hernisi tanısı konulmuştur. Bu olgu vasıtasıyla sık solunum sistemi enfeksiyonu geçiren ve özellikle eşlik eden kromozom anomalisi olan hastalarda konjenital diyafram hernisinin klinik bulgularını vurgulamayı amaçladık.
