Hydropic CDH is rare, only 2.8% of all prenatally diagnosed cases, and more commonly occurring in right-sided CDH. Survival rates are low, with higher rates of non-repair. However, decision-making regarding goals of care and an aggressive surgical approach in selected cases may result in survival rates comparable to non-hydropic cases.
