Abstract

We present the case of a two-week-old infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and Pallister-Killian mosaic syndrome (PKS) for CDH repair. We discuss the pathophysiologic findings of both conditions and the resulting anesthetic challenges from their interplay.

Keywords: congenital diaphragmatic hernia; craniofacial dysmorphism; left ventricular hypoplasia; pallister-killian syndrome; pulmonary hypertension.
