Congenital diaphragmatic hernia with ipsilateral eventration: a report of two cases

R Kataria et al. Surg Today. 1996.

Abstract

We report herein the cases of two patients in whom the unusual association of a diaphragmatic hernia with eventration of the diaphragm on the same side were confirmed. Although various recognized patterns of malformations have been described in children with diaphragmatic defects or eventration, to the best of our knowledge, this association has never been reported before. Following our case reports, the literature on this unusual topic is reviewed and a discussion on the possible pathogenesis is presented.
