Abstract
The diagnosis of a diaphragmatic hernia at 18 weeks gestation by insti llation of normal saline into the fetal peritoneal cavity under ultras ound guidance is described. The procedure established the diaphragmati c defect with certainty, outlined the contents of the hernia within th e thorax, and demonstrated the degree of secondary lung compression.
