Fryns syndrome is characterized by multiple congenital anomalies including congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and congenital heart disease (CHD).The prognosis of infant with Fryns syndrome and left sided CDH when associated with pulmonary hypoplasia is grave. We report a 2- year old boy with Fryns syndrome who had right sided CDH, Tetralogy of Fallot, and other multiple congenital anomalies. The patient survived a successful operation of both heart and diaphragmatic defects.
