Overview
Brief Summary
This diaphragmatic elastography study is a preliminary pilot study to have first values of diaphragmatic stiffness in patients with a history of diaphragmatic hernia and to estimate the difference in stiffness compared to a group of patients without a history of hernia.
The hypothesis is to be able to correlate the values found with the patients' symptomatology and thus to better monitor patients by a simple, accessible, painless and reproducible diagnostic tool, to better understand their evolution and even to be able to anticipate possible difficulties (reflux, respiratory disorders, scoliosis, etc.).
Ultrasound elastography is a recent and clinically recognized method that uses an ultrasound approach to determine tissue stiffness in a non-invasive way.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
To estimate the difference in diaphragm stiffness between a group of children with a diaphragmatic hernia with or without a prosthesis and a group of children without any diaphragmatic pathology.
Time Frame: Baseline
Diaphragmatic rigidity in ultrasound elastographic analysis: measurement of diaphragm stiffness in shear wave elastography, in apnea (measurement in kPa).
Secondary Outcomes
- To estimate the difference in diaphragm stiffness between a group of children with a diaphragmatic hernia with a prosthesis and a group of children with a diaphragmatic hernia without a prosthesis.(Baseline)
- To evaluate the correlation between age and the different parameters measured by ultrasound (on the total population and then within the 3 groups: no hernia, hernia with plaque, hernia without plaque)(Baseline)
- To estimate the association between patient stiffness and symptomatology in HDC subjects.(Baseline)
