AI Article Synopsis
- A 56-year-old woman experienced exertional shortness of breath and had elevated left diaphragm observed in chest X-rays, indicating unilateral diaphragmatic eventration.
- Dynamic MRI revealed abnormal movement of the diaphragm, leading to surgical intervention.
- Diaphragmatic plication was successfully performed using a minimally invasive technique, resulting in significant immediate symptom relief that lasted for six months post-surgery.
Article Abstract
Symptomatic unilateral diaphragmatic eventration require surgical intervention. A 56-year-old woman complained of dyspnoea on exertion and was noted to have left diaphragm elevation on chest radiographs. Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging showed paradoxical movement of the left diaphragm. We performed diaphragmatic plication by uniportal thoracoscopy with knifeless endostaplers and a loop needle device. Her symptoms significantly improved immediately after the operation, and this condition had been maintained for 6 months. We thus suggest this minimally invasive technique as an easy and safe method for diaphragmatic plication.

Introduction: The rarest form of renal ectopia, the thoracic kidney, has been documented in only about 200 cases worldwide. There are four recognized causes of congenital thoracic renal ectopia: renal ectopia with an intact diaphragm, diaphragmatic eventration, diaphragmatic hernia, and traumatic diaphragmatic rupture. This condition often presents as an incidental finding in asymptomatic patients.

Diaphragmatic eventration (DE) is characterized by abnormal diaphragm elevation resulting from muscle weakness or thinning. It may be congenital or acquired, affecting both pediatric and adult populations, and is associated with symptoms such as dyspnea and chest pain. Although DE is infrequent, with a higher incidence on the left side, it has traditionally been managed through invasive surgical techniques.

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic hernia, in which viscera herniate into the thoracic cavity, is one of the common causes of onset of respiratory distress in neonates and children. Developmentally they may have a sac in rare cases.
Aim: To analyse the clinical profile and the outcome of congenital diaphragmatic hernia with a sac in neonates and children in a paediatric referral centre.

Congenital diaphragmatic malformations include congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and eventration of the diaphragm. The clinical presentation is variable, and the prognosis depends on multiple factors. The coexistence of CDH and diaphragmatic eventration in the same patient is extremely unusual and has not been reported previously in the literature.
