ZFPM2 heterozygous gene mutations are responsible for sporadic cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernias. This development disorder may be the underlying cause for the development of congenital lung dysplasia and pulmonary vascular disorder that leads to pulmonary hypertension .
The exact cause is not always known, but it may occur in patients with a long and mobile colon (dolichocolon), chronic lung disease such as emphysema, or liver problems such as cirrhosis and ascites.

An indirect hernia in an infant may be most noticeable when the baby is crying. A direct hernia almost always develops in adulthood, usually later in life, unless the problem is the result of a ...
An omphalocele or omphalocoele, also known as an exomphalos, is a rare abdominal wall defect. [1] Beginning at the 6th week of development, rapid elongation of the gut and increased liver size reduces intra abdominal space, which pushes intestinal loops out of the abdominal cavity.
Abdominal wall defects are a type of congenital defect that allows the stomach, the intestines, or other organs to protrude through an unusual opening that forms on the abdomen. [1] [2] During the development of the fetus, many unexpected changes occur inside the womb.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia: Increased burden of de novo predicted deleterious variants in complex congenital diaphragmatic hernia [31] Whole exome sequencing identifies de novo mutations in GATA6 associated with congenital diaphragmatic hernia [32] Variants in GATA4 are a rare cause of familial and sporadic congenital diaphragmatic hernia [33]
The anomaly scan, also sometimes called the anatomy scan, 20-week ultrasound, or level 2 ultrasound, evaluates anatomic structures of the fetus, placenta, and maternal pelvic organs.
