The fetal sonographic examination was not suggestive of a poor prognosis（lung to thorax transverse area ratio, 0. 17 ; observed/expected lung area to head circumference ratio, 51％）. The stomach was in the left thoracic cavity and was classiﬁed as Kitano’s grading grade 1. An additional complication was present, as the patient had tetralogy of Fallot. A male infant, weighing 2, 506 g, was born via cesarean section at 36 weeks’ gestation. His postnatal respiratory condition was unexpectedly poor, and left lung agenesis was diagnosed during surgery for his congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Severe respiratory insufﬁciency persisted after the surgery; the infant could not be withdrawn from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, resulting in early neonatal death on postnatal day 15. The impact of the complicated congenital heart disease should not be ignored as a cause of death in this infant; however, the fact that the left lung was congenitally absent, and therefore could not expand even after the surgery, was considered a signiﬁcant factor inﬂuencing the clinical course. Pulmonary agenesis is extremely rare. During the prenatal imaging assessment of a fetus with congenital left diaphragmatic hernia, both the right and left lung volumes should be carefully evaluated.
