Unlike other<unk> s that develop to a progressive weakening in the abdominal wall, CDH occurs due to anatomical defects leading to postero-lateral wall weakness. The use of medications and environmental exposures such as allopurinol, lithium and mycophenolate mofetil  as well as phenmetrazine, thalidomide, quinine, cadmium and lead can all contribute to the development of CDH. Genetic<unk>  such as trisomy 13, trisomy 18, trisomy 21 and turner syndrome have all been associated with an increased incidence of CDH. A family history such as a parent or sibling affected may contribute to increased risk of CDH development.
