Diaphragmatic Eventration

A congenital abnormality characterized by the elevation of the DIAPHRAGM dome. It is the result of a thinned diaphragmatic muscle and injured PHRENIC NERVE, allowing the intra-abdominal viscera to push the diaphragm upward against the LUNG.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Diaphragmatic Eventration:

1.	Congenital diaphragmatic herniaIBA 08/01/2001 - "MRI and ultrasonography showed interesting features which strongly suggested the presence of congenital diaphragmatic eventration and helped to differentiate it from congenital diaphragmatic hernia." 11/01/2007 - "Underlying conditions, such as prior repair of congenital diaphragmatic hernia or diaphragmatic eventration, as well as former lobectomy, had no impact on feasibility. " 04/01/2007 - "Additionally, we reviewed the literature for all cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and diaphragmatic eventration that met the following criteria: (1) prenatal diagnosis of a diaphragmatic defect and (2) definitive diagnosis by autopsy or surgery. " 05/01/2004 - "Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and severe congenital diaphragmatic eventration (SDE) still have high mortality. " 05/01/2004 - "Prediction of outcome in infants with congenital diaphragmatic hernia or severe diaphragmatic eventration."

3.	Hereditary renal agenesisIBA 05/01/2007 - "His X-ray chest showed bilateral eventration of diaphragm and ultrasonography abdomen was consistent with left renal agenesis which was confirmed by radionuclide scan. " 05/01/2003 - "Pulmonary hypoplasia was assessed in 25 fetuses with urethral atresia and stenosis, renal agenesis, polycystic kidney, cloacal anomalies, diaphragmatic eventration, bronchopulmonary foregut malformation, chest deformity, meconium peritonitis and sacrococcygeal teratoma. "
4.	Nonsense Codon (Nonsense Mutation)IBA 09/01/2007 - "Although there is strong evidence implicating genetic factors in its pathogenesis, few causative genes have been identified, and in isolated CDH, only one de novo, nonsense mutation has been reported in FOG2 in a female with posterior diaphragmatic eventration.

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Thoracotomy 10/01/2014 - "The present study was conducted to analyse the perioperative outcome of thoracotomy in adult patients with diaphragmatic eventration. " 04/01/2000 - "A right thoracotomy was performed and a diaphragmatic eventration covered by a thick pleuroperitoneal membrane was found, together with sequestration of the lung. " 09/01/1996 - "In contrast to the large thoracotomy incisions required by standard surgical techniques for repair of diaphragmatic eventration, the procedure we developed can be performed by video-assisted thoracoscopy, thus offering patients the advantages of a minimally invasive operation. " 04/01/1991 - "All patients were successfully treated by thoracotomy and repair of the diaphragmatic eventration with an immediate return to CAPD. " 07/01/2005 - "We describe a patient in her last trimester of pregnancy (36th week) who presented to the hospital with symptoms suggestive of upper respiratory tract infection and with a chest radiograph showing left diaphragmatic eventration, for which she underwent thoracotomy and cesarean section. "

3.	Thoracostomy 09/01/2013 - "Minimally invasive repairs of pediatric diaphragm eventration have been well described via a thoracoscopic approach, oftentimes requiring single-lung ventilation and tube thoracostomy, with the disadvantage of not being able to clearly visualize what lies beneath the diaphragm.
