Eventration of the diaphragm.

Objective: Eventration of the diaphragm (ED) is defined as the abnormal elevation of the diaphragm. Although asymptomatic ED may be amenable to conservative treatment, symptomatic ED in children, either congenital or acquired, may require surgical treatment. This study evaluated the results of diaphragmatic plication in children with unilateral ED.

Transverse testicular ectopia associated with persistent Müllerian duct syndrome. A case report.

Transverse testicular ectopia (TTE) associated with persistent Müllerian duct syndrome (PMDS) is a rare genitourinary anomaly. The clinical and operative findings and treatment are discussed. It is very important to perform a careful exploration in TTE when the testes are undescended, in order to exclude the presence of PMDS.
