Abstract

Diaphragmatic eventration is defined as thinning of the diaphragm secondary to a congenital deficiency in diaphragmatic muscle structure. Clinically, diaphragmatic eventration can be impossible to differentiate from acquired paralysis. Diaphragmatic plication is indicated for symptomatic patients and leads to significant improvement in symptoms, quality of life, and pulmonary function tests.
