We met Griff before he was even born! He was diagnosed with spina bifida, underwent fetal surgery in our Center at 28 weeks' gestation, and was born at his hospital back home in Minneapolis five weeks later. His family created a video to document how great he is doing today - be sure to watch!

A new study from Dr. William Peranteau, our Center for Fetal Research and colleagues at Penn Medicine was published today in Science Translational Medicine! This proof-of-concept study showed that, one day, in-utero gene editing could be a promising new approach for treating lung diseases before birth.

Today, Peyton is in fifth grade, just celebrated her 11th birthday, and loves running track - an impressive feat considering Peyton was born with a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, when the diaphragm muscle fails to close during prenatal development, and the contents from the abdomen migrate into the baby's chest. At four days old, she underwent surgery. Since then, she and her family have made it their mission to help other families who were given the same scary diagnosis. Read for her full story. #CDHAwarenessMonth #ForBreakthroughs

"I didn't want to hear it was OK, and not to worry. I liked how serious CHOP was about the condition," recalls Meredith. When she and her husband Jeff learned their unborn baby had a sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT), they traveled from their home in New Jersey and came to our Center for treatment. This is Rowan's story.

El and Matt were thrilled when they learned they were expecting their first child. But at their 20-week ultrasound, they received devastating news: their baby had a sacrococcygeal teratoma (SCT) — a large tumor located at the base of the tailbone. This is their story.
