Objective

To investigate clinical manifestations,clinical diagnosis and treatment of children with late-onset congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH).

Methods

A total of 74 children with late-onset CDH who were treated in the Department of Pediatric General Surgery and Thoracic Surgery,Shengjing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University from January 2013 to December 2023 were selected as study subjects,and were included in study group,their mean age was 3.2 years old(1 month to 14 years old);27,2,and 45 children with Bochdalek hernia,Morgagni hernia,and esophageal hiatal hernia (EHH),respectively.And another 67 neonates with CDH treated in the same hospital during the same period were selected as control and included in control group,their mean age was 1.3 d(0-28 d);50,6,and 11 children with Bochdalek hernia,Morgagni hernia,and EHH,respectively.Clinical data of children between study group and control group,including clinical manifestations,CDH types,diagnosis and treatment characteristics were retrospectively collected and were compared by independent-samples t test,or chi-square test or correction for continuity chi-square test.As examination and treatment methods of EHH,Bochdalek hernia and Morgagni hernia were different,study group and control group were further divided into EHH subgroup 1(n=45)and BM subgroup 1(n=29),EHH subgroup 2(n=11)and BM subgroup 2(n=56)based on EHH children,Bochdalek hernia and Morgagni hernia children,respectively.The procedures followed in this study were approved by the Ethics Committee of our hospital( Approval No.2018PS391K),and all guardians of children signed informed consent for clinical study.

Results

①CDH type of children with late-onset CDH:bochdalek hernia in 27 cases (36.5%) [right lateral hernia in 2 cases (2.7%),left lateral hernia in 25 cases (33.8%)];2 cases (2.7%)were Morgagni hernias,and 45 cases(60.8%)were EHH.Clinical manifestations:18 cases (24.3%)had respiratory symptoms as the main manifestation,46 cases (62.2%)had digestive tract symptoms as the main manifestation[7 cases (9.5%)were diagnosed with growth retardation or anemia],and 10 cases (13.5%)had no clinical symptoms related to CDH and were diagnosed during physical examination.Treatment methods:31 cases (41.9%)underwent minimally invasive surgery,3 cases (4.1%)underwent minimally invasive surgery+transfer to open surgery,and 40 cases (54.0%)underwent open surgery.Diagnosis methods:all 74 cases were diagnosed by digital X-ray of chest or abdomen and CT of chest or abdomen.And 61 cases (82.4%)also received upper digestive tract X-ray angiography,2 cases (2.7%)underwent complete X-ray barium enema examination,and 1 case (1.4%)underwent only X-ray b arium enema examination.6 cases (8.1%)underwent chest enhanced CT to assist in judging the activity of hernia contents.②There were no statistically significant differences in gender ratio,operation duration and postoperative feeding time between EHH subgroup 1 and EHH subgroup 2(P >0.05).Diameter of diaphragm defect in EHH subgroup 1 was larger than that in EHH subgroup 2,and the difference was statistically significant (t=-2.71,P=0.009).There were no statistically significant differences in gender ratio,diaphragm defect diameter and hernia sac between BM subgroup 1 and BM subgroup 2(P>0.05).However,rate of patch usage in BM subgroup 1 was lower than that in BM subgroup 2,and the operation duration,postoperative ventilator assisted ventilation duration and postoperative feeding time in BM subgroup 2 were shorter than those in BM subgroup 2,and all the differences were statistically significant( χ2=4.08,P=0.043;t=3.36,P=0.001;t=2.85,P=0.006;t=5.51,P<0.001).

Conclusions

The lack of typical clinical manifestations in children with late-onset CDH often leads to delayed clinical diagnosis of the disease.The possibility of late-onset CDH should be fully considered in the differential diagnosis of children with respiratory d istress and gastrointestinal disorders.Imageological examinations are necessary in the differential diagnosis of every child with late-onset CDH.
