2.Laparoscopic plication for left anterior diaphragmatic eventration in a pediatric patient: A case report.

Reported here is the first documented laparoscopic repair of a rare
partial diaphragmatic eventration in a pediatric patient. The case
involves a three year old female who had recurrent cough. While
a Morgagni hernia was the initial impression, an eventration of the
left anterior diaphragm was instead found on laparoscopy. Repair
was aided by using transcutaneous traction, with plication
achieved by intracorporeal sutures. The patient recovered
uneventfully and follow-up x-ray after six months demonstrated
an intact repair.

A case of congenital diaphragmatic eventration on the right and central tendinous portion with accessory hepatic lobe causing direct compression of the right heart is presented. We have performed the video assisted thoracoscopic plication of the right hemidiaphragm and eliminated the mass effect of the accessory hepatic lobe.

A 40-year-old woman underwent plication by video-assisted thoracoscopy for left diaphragmatic eventration. Normalization in the position of the left diaphragm and a marked improvement in the left lung expansion were identified on the chest X-ray. This technique offers the patients many advantages of the minimally invasive operation.

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration is defined as an abnormal elevation of the diaphragm resulting from developmental abnormality of muscle fibers during gestation. Differentiation between congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and eventration is very difficult but important for perinatal management and prognosis, because CDH is associated with higher perinatal and neonatal mortality. We describe a case that was initially diagnosed by prenatal sonography as a right CDH and later confirmed as a congenital diaphragmatic eventration after the delivery with a brief review of the literatures.

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration is an abnormal elevation of the diaphragm as a result of developmental failure of muscular fibers during the fetal period. Mediastinal shift to the contralateral side may cause significant compression of the affected chest contents resulting in compromised pulmonary function especially when bilaterally involved. The differentiation between congenital diaphragmatic eventration and diaphragmatic hemia is very difficult but eventration has a better perinatal outcome compared to diaphragmatic hernia. We report a case of congenital diaphragmatic eventration on left side with good perinatal outcome after plication in which the initial prenatal diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia was made by prenatal ultrasonography.

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration is the abnormal elevation of the diaphragm into the thoracic cavity. Sometimes, it is not easy to differentiate congenital diaphragmatic eventration from diaphragmatic hernia by either prenatal sonography or postnatal chest radiography. However, differential diagnosis of both diseases is practical because of different prognosis and surgical approaches. Careful interpretation of postnatal serial chest X-rays is mandatory to differentiate between both diseases. We report two neonates with congenital diaphragmatic eventration of left diaphragm that initially misdiagnosed as diaphragmatic hernia by prenatal sonography and postnatal chest radiography.

Most of the congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) cases are diagnosed at prenatal period or immediately after birth with severe respiratory symptom. The classic triad, which is respiratory distress, apparent dextrocardia and a scaphoid abdomen, is usually seen in this period. Several case reports have described older infants and children with a wide spectrum of symptoms of CDH, whereas extremely few cases were reported in neonatal period except classic triad such as straungulation of the bowel. These atypical manifestations can lead physician to delayed diagnosis. We report two cases of CDH newborns. First case was diagnosed with pneumoperitoneum following tension pneumothorax, transient diaphragm eventration on 5 days after birth. The other case was diagnosed with failure to thrive and mediastinal mass on 30 days after birth. These cases suggest physicians to consider CDH in late newborn period with pneumoperitoneum following tension pneumothorax, transient diaphragm eventration, failure to thrive, and mediastinal mass.

Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare disease and is caused by congenital etiology. We operated on a patient who had had preexisting left diaphragmatic eventration which was complicated by a right diaphragmatic paralysis and a persistent respiratory insufficiency due to a traffic accident. This was a very rare case and there has not yet been any case reports worldwide. We were able to abtain good surgical results from plication of left diaphragm in this case and thus report it.
