Introduction
Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare entity in which there is the permanent elevation of the hemidiaphragm without an obvious diaphragmatic defect.[1] In some cases, it is difficult to distinguish this entity from diaphragmatic hernia, but in the latter, there is disruption of the musculature of the diaphragm. In contrast to eventration, where the musculature is only weakened and thinned out with no breach in its continuity.[2] The condition can be congenital or acquired.[3]. Acquired cases occur most commonly after traumatic damage to the phrenic nerve[1]. Depending on the severity, cases can be symptomatic or asymptomatic. When symptomatic, the spectrum of presentation is diverse ranging from respiratory complaints of cough, dyspnoea, and recurrent chest infections to gastrointestinal symptoms of epigastric discomfort, heartburn, bloating, belching, and abdominal fullness[3]. Here, we report a case of a 72 years old woman with right-sided eventration and a remote history of tuberculosis infection.
