Diaphragmatic eventration
Thorac Surg Clin.
2009 Nov.
Abstract
Symptomatic diaphragmatic eventration is an uncommon condition and is sometimes impossible to distinguish clinically from paralysis. Patients who are asymptomatic require no treatment; patients who are symptomatic benefit significantly from diaphragm plication. The choice of plication approach is dependent upon the expertise of the surgeon.
