Research results from University of Texas update knowledge of diaphragmatic hernia.
According to a study from the United States, "We sought to use magnetic resonance (MR) imaging (MRI) to estimate percentage of fetal thorax occupied by lung, liver, and other abdominal organs in pregnancies with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This was a retrospective study of pregnancies with isolated CDH referred for MRI between August 2000 and June 2006."
"Four regions of interest were measured in the axial plane by an investigator blinded to neonatal outcome, and volumes were then calculated. The percentages of thorax occupied by lung, liver, and all herniated organs were then compared with neonatal outcomes. Fifteen CDH fetuses underwent MRI at a median gestational age of 29 weeks. Liver herniation was found in 93%. When the liver occupied > 20% of the fetal thorax, neonatal deaths were significantly increased. Percentages of lung and other herniated organs were not associated with outcome," wrote K.C. Worley and colleagues, University of Texas (see also Diaphragmatic Hernia).
