Eventration of Diaphragm – An Incidental Rare Entity
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 6
Abstract
The eventration of diaphragm is a rare entity characterized by uniform elevation of part or parts of both hemi-diaphragms associated with ascent of abdominal organs like intestine showing haustrations under the diaphragm. We report a case of 37 year old lady, mother of two children, who presented with pain in lower chest and epigastrium, cough with mild expectoration and with other GIT symptoms. Fluroscopic examination showed absence of paradoxical movements of diaphragm on left side and CECT revealed smooth elevation of diaphragm and upward shift of the abdominal viscera under the diaphragm. Radiological, fluroscopic and CECT findings helped us to diagnose the patient as a case of eventration of left diaphragm
