What is diaphragmatic Eventration?

Diaphragmatic eventration (DE) is the abnormal elevation of a portion or entire hemidiaphragm due to a lack of muscle or nerve function while maintaining its anatomical attachments. The abnormality can be congenital or acquired, thus presenting in both the pediatric and adult populations.

What is diaphragmatic plication?

Diaphragmatic plication is a procedure used to surgically treat diaphragmatic eventrations/paralysis. The procedure involves repositioning and/or reshaping the diaphragm to expand lung capacity and ultimately, improve breathing difficulties caused by these conditions.

What is elevated diaphragm?

[1] Elevated hemidiaphragm occurs when one side of the diaphragm becomes weak from muscular disease or loss of innervation due to phrenic nerve injury. Patients may present with difficulty breathing, but more commonly elevated hemidiaphragm is found on imaging as an incidental finding, and patients are asymptomatic.

What is paralyzed diaphragm?

How is diaphragm paralysis diagnosis?

Computed tomography scanning of the chest, abdomen or both. Magnetic resonance imaging to determine if there is an underlying condition involving the spinal column or nerve roots. Ultrasound to see the activity of the diaphragm and to identify any unusual movement or lack of movement.

What does a positive sniff test mean?
