These defects often occur in the upper limb and on the ipsilateral side of the hernia. This association between congenital diaphragmatic hernias and limb-reduction defects suggests a developmental relationship, where both organs are either affected during the same embryological period or by the same factor/s (genetic and environmental/teratogenic).en© This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License.Limb-reduction defectsCongenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)SclerotomeArticle
