POST‐GRADUATE COURSE ON:
CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATIC HERNIA
Aula “M. Salviati”
Bambino Gesù Children’s Hospital
Rome, the 1st February, 2011
Dear Colleagues,
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia still carries with it debates for all steps of management, from prenatal treatment to long term outcome, and many controversial topics need to be updated frequently. This postgraduate course is focused on pathogenetic, pathophysiologic
and clinical aspects of congenital diaphragmatic hernia, with International experts presenting the state of the art. The course has been organized as an interactive and informal one, with plenty of time for discussion, also at lunch time. Moreover, the course may represent the best introduction for those who wish to participate to the international meeting “CONGENITAL DIAPHRAGMATICHERNIA: MORE QUESTIONS THAN ANSWERS!”, held under the guidance of the CDH Study Group and in collaboration with the CDH EURO Consortium, which will follow on 2‐3 of February, in Rome.
