We report a case of concurrent congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and Hirschsprung's disease (HD) in a neonate without syndromic features, representing one of fewer documented cases worldwide. The patient presented with classic CDH symptoms but developed persistent bowel obstruction post-repair, leading to delayed HD diagnosis 4 weeks later. This case highlights the diagnostic challenges in differentiating postoperative ileus from underlying HD in CDH patients.
