Eventration of the diaphragm is caused by weakened musculature of the diaphragm. This can occur in one or both hemidiaphragms. Symptoms may be minimal and it is usually detected incidentally on chest radiograph which would show an elevation of the diaphragm. We report and discuss a case of eventration of right diaphragm in a patient presented with a lobulated lung mass on chest radiograph.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
