Abstract
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is exceptional in children. It is defined by the presence of an abnormal diaphragmatic defect causing the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cavity to communicate. It usually manifests itself at birth through respiratory distress, or sometimes through sepsis requiring urgent treatment. We report the rare case a girl with cholestatic jaundice secondary to a left antero diaphragmatic hernia with visceral content (hail and colon).
