Six cases of bilateral diaphragmatic hernia are described between 145 congenital diaphragmatic hernia in Department of Pediatric Surgery, "La Paz" Children's Hospital of Madrid since 1966 to 1986. All patients showed symptoms early after birth. Death occurred almost immediately in five cases, for the severe bilateral pulmonary hypoplasia and the malformations associated in the most them (cardiac, genitourinary, digestive system and metabolic). One patient was alive for 22 days. We study the obstetrical history and the evolution of our patients.
