Diaphragmatic hernia is a defect or hole in the diaphragm that allows the abdominal contents to move into the chest cavity. Treatment is usually surgical. The following types of diaphragmatic hernia exist: 1  Congenital diaphragmatic hernia. 2  Morgagni's hernia. 3  Bochdalek hernia. 4  Hiatal hernia.
Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) A congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect where there is an opening in the muscle that helps you breathe, called the diaphragm. This opening can be on the right or left side, but is most common on the left. The contents of the belly, including the stomach, spleen, liver and intestines go up into the chest. There is little room for the lungs to grow and develop.
