Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a common thoracic abnormality with increased risk of associated abnormalities. The aetiology of CDH is not exactly known and the plausible reason is the defect of the amuscular component of the primordial diaphragm. Although, fetal heart abnormalities are the most common associated abnormalities in fetuses with CDH, aortic coarctation is occurred rarely. We present a case with the prenatal diagnosis of the co-occurrence of CDH and aortic coarctation.
