“…This induces a progressive amyotrophy and stretching of all muscular fibers of the dome. Phrenic nerve injury is one of the frequent causes, especially at delivery, followed by neoplastic infiltration, compressions, or surgical interventions [4, 17, 18]. The lesion of this nerve can be a consequence of neurological pathologies such as myelitis, encephalitis of diverse viral origins, postherpetic neuralgia, polio, tetanus, or diphtheria [4, 10].…”

We aimed to review the publications on the diagnosis of diaphragmatic eventration and report on the clinical presentation and surgical treatment of a female patient aged 17 years. The present case, though quite infrequent, shows the presence of an ectopic thoracic kidney on the right side. The clinical features included dry cough, chest pain, respiratory distress, and bronchial spasms for 4 years; additionally, the patient had episodes of bronchial asthma since her childhood. The right hemithorax presented invasion of the thin loops, right colon, and kidney. The treatment approach was laparoscopic followed by thoracotomy using a dual mesh. The intrathoracic kidney remained in place. The outcome was satisfactory. Diaphragmatic eventration associated with thoracic renal ectopia is a very rare entity, considering the age, sex, and right location of the condition. It represents a clinical and diagnostic challenge; clinicians, radiologists, and surgeons must be alert with a high degree of suspicion in order to correlate symptoms and imaging findings and understand the etiopathogenesis. In addition, they should plan an adequate and individualized surgical repair making use, as far as possible, of the minimally invasive procedures that are currently used.

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) is a rare diaphragmatic abnormality. Clinical manifestations of CDE may mimic congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Prenatal differential diagnosis of eventration is critical because postnatal managing and prognosis of these conditions vary significantly. Sonographic features of CDE involve presence of abdominal organs in the thorax, shift of cardiac axis and mediastinum. Non-immune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) has been previously reported to be associated with intrathoracic masses as well as CDE. In this report, we present a case of congenital right diaphragmatic eventration associated with NIHF.

Diaphragmatic eventration plication repair with minimal access techniques: a case series

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare pathological condition occurring in <0.05% individuals causing the diaphragm to permanently ascend into the chest due to partial or complete replacement of diaphragmatic musculature by fibroblastic tissue. Congenital diaphragmatic eventration rarely presents among adults with most patients remaining asymptomatic only to be diagnosed incidentally after chest radiography. Symptomatic patients can present with dyspnoea, orthopnoea, recurrent lower respiratory tract infections or gastrointestinal symptoms. Management varies according to symptoms with asymptomatic cases requiring no intervention and plication being the standard, well-described technique for symptomatic cases. Here we described two cases with eventration approached using different minimal access techniques.
