    Author: Dieltjens A, Naulaers G, Vandeven K, Coosemans W, Moerman P, Devlieger H.
    Journal: Eur J Pediatr Surg; 2000 Apr; 10(2):140-1. PubMed ID: 10877086.
    Abstract:
    A case of right diaphragmatic eventration, associated with a lung sequestration, in a 7-month-old infant is presented. Failure to thrive was the initial symptom. X-ray of the chest, made because of mild respiratory distress, revealed an inhomogeneous opacification of the right lower hemithorax, suggesting a diaphragmatic hernia. A right thoracotomy was performed and a diaphragmatic eventration covered by a thick pleuroperitoneal membrane was found, together with sequestration of the lung. The pathologic findings and the embryology are discussed.
