Congenital Eventration of Diaphragm - Diagnostic Dilemma in Blunt Thoracoabdominal Trauma
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
Eventration of diaphragm is defined as an abnormal, permanent elevation of the hemidiaphragm and its lax membrane is interspersed with the normal peritoneal and pleural membranes. Most adults with Eventration of diaphragm are asymptomatic and do not require surgical treatment .However the preexistence of this condition in cases of thoraco abdominal trauma mimics a traumatic rupture of diaphragm and hence, is a diagnostic dilemma. We present a case of previously undiagnosed Congenital Eventration of diaphragm mimicking a traumatic rupture of diaphragm.
