Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Helsinki University Central Hospital, Finland.

An infant with congenital diaphragmatic hernia was given 2 mg vecuronium bromide intramuscularly in utero 40 min before vaginal delivery at 40 weeks gestation. At birth the infant had complete muscle relaxation, which facilitated decompression of the bowel and surgical correction. Prenatal muscle relaxation may improve the care of infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
