To carry out a systems analysis of the data available in the current literature on methods for visual diagnosis and prediction of outcomes in congenital diaphragmatic hernia. The review includes the articles by foreign and Russian authors, which have been published in the journals cited in PubMed on this topic in the past 15 years. There are currently at least 15 outcome-predicting procedures, most of which are based on direct or indirect lung volume calculations using echography and magnetic resonance imaging. Others include the evaluation of displacement of the abdominal organs into the chest, among which the assessment of the position of the liver is most commonly done. Correct estimation of the degree of lung tissue maturity is one of the key points in predicting the outcomes of the disease. There is a need for further studies of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and for visual diagnostic methods to be developed for its comprehensive assessment in order to determine the most informative criteria for predicting outcomes and management tactics in pregnant women.
