Abnormalities and Diseases of the Diaphragm

Right-sided diaphragmatic eventration: A rare entity

“…Complete eventration of diaphragm invariably occurs on the left side but partial eventration of the diaphragm occurs virtually on the right side 3. In this case, the complete eventration of diaphragm was seen on the right side which is a rarity.…”

Right-sided diaphragmatic eventration: A rare entity

“…Complete eventration of diaphragm invariably occurs on the left side but partial eventration of the diaphragm occurs virtually on the right side. 3 In this case, the complete eventration of diaphragm was seen on the right side which is a rarity. It is almost always asymptomatic and detected on chest radiographs incidentally.…”

“…Partial eventration is more common on the right side and the complete variety is common on the left side.In some cases, it may be difficult or impossible to distinguish from diaphragmatic paralysis. 1 Complete eventration almost invariably occurs on the left side 3 and is rare on the right.We report a case of 60-year-old male with right-sided eventration.…”

Eventration of Diaphragm: A Case Seriesreport

“…The diaphragm can be seen as a continuous thin layer above the elevated abdominal viscera and on real-time ultrasound the abnormal region can be seen to move downward with the normal portion although it may show a slight lag in its inspiratory excursion. [15] The radiological sight of complete eventration is identical to that diaphragmatic paralysis. In some cases, however, there is no way of knowing whether elevation is caused by congenital absence of muscle or by phrenic paralysis.…”
