Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare disease, congenital or acquired, abnormally high or elevated position of diaphragm as a result of paralysis, aplasia or atrophy of varying degree of the muscle fibers of the affected side with no break in the continuity of the muscle.
We experienced two cases of diaphragmatic eventration with dyspnea and frequent respiratory disease.
In physical examination there was noted decreased breathing sound on the affected lung field and bowel sound was audible. Diagnosis was done by chest X-ray and plication of the affected diaphragm was done in operation. Specific complications were not noted after surgical repair of diaphragmatic eventration with good result.
We report two cases of diaphragmatic eventration with brief review of literatures.
