Eventration of the diaphragm
Chest Surg Clin N Am.
1998 May.
Abstract
Eventration of the diaphragm is a condition where the muscle is permanently elevated, but retains its continuity and attachments to the costal margin. It is rare, seldom symptomatic, and often requires no treatment. In symptomatic patients, plication of the diaphragm may offer relief of the symptoms.
