Abstract
In patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia1, nutrition can represent a challenge both in the short and long term. Its failure to resolve can have a significant impact on multiple aspects of the lives of patients with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), ranging from lung function to neurodevelopment. In this review, we will describe the causes of nutritional problems in patients with CDH, their consequences, and possible strategies to address them.
