    AbstractWe present a case of severe isolated congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) diagnosed at 19 weeks of gestation and treated at 28 weeks with Fetal Endoscopic Tracheal Occlusion (FETO). The CDH was left-sided with part of the liver in the thorax and lung area to head circumference ratio (LHR) of 0.9. The FETO was successfully performed under spinal anesthesia. The pregnancy is progressing uneventfully and ultrasound examination 10 days after the FETO demonstrated an increased LHR to 1.1. Treatment with FETO for severe CDH has been performed for the first time in Bulgaria and this procedure addressed several questions for optimal management by an experienced interdisciplinary team.
