Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is one of the pending challenges in dealing with the surgical diseases of the newborn. This was a very unusual case of a right stuck diaphragmatic hernia that affected a large part of the intestine. The used diagnostic means, the surgical procedure and the observed complications were described. Stuck congenital diaphragmatic hernia is a potentially lethal complication because of the wide vascular effect on the abdominal organs, leading to their necrosis if this problem is not early diagnosed. Therefore, it must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis of the respiratory failure in newborns and small infants.
