          Abstract

          Congenital Diaphragmatic Eventration (DE) requires a prompt diagnosis to avert the potentially life‐threatening complications. Herein, a 5‐month‐old male presented with recurrent respiratory infections due to a right‐sided diaphragmatic eventration. Misdiagnosed from previous medical visits, timely surgical intervention by thoracoscopic plication of the diaphragm was crucial for our patient's survival.

          Abstract

          Diaphragmatic eventration (DE) is a life‐threatening abnormality that leads to one or both hemi‐diaphragms being elevated in the thoracic cavity. Congenital DE can fatally hinder lung formation. DE can be easily misdiagnosed, thus recognizing the presentation, and performing accurate interventions can allow for suitable management and favorable outcomes.

          Long term results of diaphragmatic plication for unilateral diaphragm paralysis.

          Afzal Hussain, Simon M Higgs, Mark Jackson … (2002)
          To examine whether diaphragmatic plication is an effective and lasting treatment option for non-malignant diaphragmatic paralysis. Nineteen patients who had undergone diaphragm plication (1983-1990) were recalled for interview, pulmonary function testing and chest X-ray. There were 13 men and six women aged 24-73 (mean 55). Diaphragm paralysis was idiopathic (n=9), postsurgical (n=3), related to cervical spondylosis (n=4) and neck injury (n=2). Patients presented with breathlessness (18/19) or orthopnoea (1/19). Symptoms had lasted 3-60 months (mean 24 months). All patients had a raised hemidiaphragm on chest X-ray with paradoxical movement on ultrasound. Mean preoperative FVC was 71% predicted (range 38-93, SD 12.9) and mean FEV(1) was 67% predicted (range 33-90, SD 10.8). Supine lung volumes were 81% (mean) of sitting values. There were six right plications and 13 left. There were no postoperative deaths. One patient required re-plication. Follow-up (18/19 of original operated patients) ranged from 7-14 years (mean 10 years). Three patients had died of unrelated causes and one patient failed to attend long term follow-up, leaving 15 patients of the original 19 operated on. Positional change in lung volumes was not affected by surgery at early (6 week) or late (>5 year) follow-up. FVC, FEV(1), FRC and TLC improved by 10.1*, 11.8*, 16.9* and 9.2*%, respectively, at early follow-up and 11.8*, 15.4*, 26 and 13.3*% at late follow-up (*P<0.005 signed rank). Dyspnoea scores at long term follow-up improved 1 point (n=5), 2 points (n=5) and 3 points (n=2), remained unchanged (n=1) or dropped 1 point (n=2). Of the 15 patients followed up all but one who had been employed returned to work. 14/15 patients expressed satisfaction with their surgery. Diaphragm plication is an effective procedure with lasting results.
