Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 3

Abstract

Eventration of right hemidiaphragm is an extremely rare condition. We report a case of eventration of right hemidiaphragm with gastric volvulus in a child presenting as respiratory illness. There were no symptoms related to gastro intestinal tract. Routine chest radiograph and upper GI barium study revealed the presence of organoaxial gastric volvulus with right hemi diaphragm eventration, which was confirmed at surgery. Anterior gastropexy was done and the child was asymptomatic following surgery.
