Non-traumatic rupture of eventration of diaphragm in a child
Journal Title: Medical Journal Armed Forces - Year 2018, Vol 74, Issue 3
Abstract
Eventration of the diaphragm is a rare condition where the diaphragm is permanently elevated, but retains its continuity and attachments to the costal margins.1 This condition affects less than 0.05% of general population and is more common in males.2 Rupture of eventration of diaphragm, which is extremely rare in a child, can be either traumatic or spontaneous.3–9 As there is paucity of literature of spontaneous rupture of eventration of diaphragm in children, we report a child with non-traumatic rupture of eventration of diaphragm.
