    UnlabelledCongenital diaphragmatic hernia is an anatomical defect of the diaphragm that is often associated with serious cardiopulmonary complications. It can also be associated with many other problems like multi systemic anomalies, chromosomal aneuploidy and prematurity. Of these, cardiac defects, liver herniation and prematurity seem to have a pivotal role in affecting the outcomes of repair. We hereby present a preterm newborn with such multiple defects repaired on 15th day of life and post operatively managed in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with a successful outcome. The key learning objective for our team in this case was to identify the steps taken that led to a successful management of a low birth weight preemie with multiple defects in a resource limited set up.Keywordscongenital diaphragmatic hernia; preterm; surgical repair; ventricular septal defect.
