Abstract

We present the case of a male infant at a gestational age of 41 weeks who presented with a right congenital diaphragmatic hernia. During surgical exploration, right hepatopulmonary fusion was encountered. We review the existing literature on this problem, describe a novel surgical approach, and review the embryology of this complex lesion.
