Abstract:

To assess the relationship between the position of the stomach and the volume of herniated organs into the thorax, and the observed-to-expected total fetal lung volume (o/e TFLV), which is a measure of pulmonary hypoplasia in fetuses with isolated left sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (LCDH).
