Every 1 baby in 2,000 is born with the disease, with a 50 percent survival chances; half of those fail to make to their 1st birthday.

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia is formulated when the chest cavity separation diaphragm does not build accurately in the womb.

Due to this defect lungs also do not form properly as the contents of the belly spread up to the chest.

Most of the babies who face death due to birth defects usually have insufficient, undeveloped and underdeveloped lung tissues, which are helpful for survival.

Sometimes the cause of death is the development of hypertension in the lungs blood vessels. The problem arises when blood pressure lowering medications lower the baby’s overall body blood pressure. Those who survive feel trouble right from the time of cutting the umbilical cord. While, there are other, which become terrible with the time proceedings.
