Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is not a frequently occurring congenital anomaly. Despite increased prenatal diagnostic ability, significant advances in neonatal care and new surgical techniques, it still has a high mortality. Portends of major malformation contributes towards a poorer outcome. A case from the Police Hospital in Bogota, Colombia is presented which had congenital tracheal stenosis, a condition which prevented planned management of the airway at birth together, working together with the neonatal service.
