Abstract
The association of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with hepatic heterotopia is a rare one that has been scarcely reported. We present a case of a female neonate with an antenatally diagnosed left congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Intra-operatively she was found to have ectopic liver tissue within the hernia sac. This case report discusses the presentation, classification, and significance of this rare association.
•Congenital diaphragmatic hernia with hepatic heterotopia is a rare association.•It is essential to rule out associated cardiac anomalies and pericardial defects.•Hepatic heterotopia is classified into four types.•Surgical repair with this association can be challenging.•Patients may be at greater risk for recurrence and require long-term follow-up.
