Abstract

Diaphragm eventration, an abnormal elevation of the dome of the diaphragm, could be congenital or acquired. Acquired cases usually occur after an episode of trauma to the phrenic nerve, or may be attributed to infectious and inflammatory causes. We report an acquired eventration with a probable association with tuberculosis infection.
