  • Title: Strangulated bowel as an unusual complication of neonatal congenital diaphragmatic hernia: a case report and literature review.
    Author: Josephsen JB, Klinkner DB, Kumar T, Al-Hosni M.
    Journal: J Pediatr Surg; 2013 Apr; 48(4):866-8. PubMed ID: 23583147.
    Abstract:
    Strangulation of bowel in utero causing infarction has been rarely reported in neonates. We report a case of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with bowel incarceration, requiring substantial resection of necrotic bowel. Despite a prolonged hospitalization, the patient had a good outcome and was discharged home nippling full enteral feeds. Three previous cases with a similar diagnosis were identified through a literature review and suggest a similar pattern of initial patient presentation.
