Abstract

Umbilical vein anomalies are a rare congenital defect, which have been associated with absent ductus venosus, with few cases also involving a congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We describe a case of postnatal development of an anterior diaphragmatic hernia of Morgagni in a four-year-old patient diagnosed prenatally with mesocardia, absent ductus venosus with a large umbilical vein, a large secundum atrial septal defect, and patent ductus arteriosus.

Keywords: absent ductus venosus; diaphragmatic hernia; obliterated umbilical vein.
