The newborn infant required 0.25-0.5 L/min nasal oxygen soon after birth, and her chest X-ray examination (Figure 1(a)) 1 day after birth revealed left CDH. Sac-type CDH was suspected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at 21 days after birth (Figure 1(b)).
(a) Fetal echography showed a smooth-surface cystic lesion 29 x 44 mm in diameter in the left dorsal thorax (arrow). (b) Magnetic resonance imaging at 37 weeks of gestation suggested left sac-type CDH. The stomach and spleen were herniated into the left chest (arrow).

Obstetric sonography showed polyhydramnios and a simple, smooth cystic lesion in the left dorsal thorax, with the fetal heart displaced to the right side (Figure 2(a)). MRI revealed that the stomach and spleen were herniated into the sac-type CDH of the left chest (Figure 2(b)).
