Overview

This CME-accredited session will explore clinical pathways for congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), from prenatal imaging and diagnosis to fetal intervention, delivery, and perinatal care.

Prenatal diagnoses of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) introduce a range of complex challenges surrounding prognosis and perinatal management. As providers, our role is to guide families through decision-making and connect them with specialized care. Join experts from the Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) Center and Fetal Care and Surgery Center for this CME-accredited  event that will explore the care trajectory for CDH — from prenatal imaging and diagnosis to fetal intervention, delivery, and long-term support.
