Dr. Molloy graduated from University College Cork, Ireland and subsequently trained in pediatrics and neonatology throughout Ireland and in Cleveland, USA. She is a neonatologist in Dublin and an associate professor of pediatrics in the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. She has published in the areas of congenital diaphragmatic hernia and also mechanisms of neonatal inflammatory diseases.
Congenital Diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) occurs in approximately 1 in every 2,500 births and the cause is yet unknown. In CDH the diaphragm fails to form correctly, allowing herniation of the abdominal contents into the thoracic cavity and results in pulmonary hypolplasia. This book describes the embryology, genetics, antenatal diagnosis, management, associated congenital anomalies and long-term outcomes of children with CDH. It is a valuable up-to-date reference for pediatricians, neonatologists and allied health professionals who care for children with CDH.
