Severe Eventration of Left Diaphragm Causing Displacement of the Heart Towards Right Side

Diaphragmatic eventration (DE) is the abnormal elevation of an area or whole hemidiaphragm due to an absence of muscle or nerve attribute while preserving its physiological function. The problem can be genetic or acquired, hence presenting in both the paediatric and adult population. Diaphragm eventration can end up being a significant problem triggering serious respiratory distress as well as can end up being fatal if left untreated.
