Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) has been described, studied, and treated for over 400 years. A historical perspective is given. Great strides have been made in the care of patients with CDH; however, the mortality rate remains 30% to 60%. Consideration of historical references, observations, and achievements in the study of CDH is important for the continued advancement and improvement in our understanding of and future success in treating infants and children with CDH.Entities:
