Abstract

© 2016, Journal of Clinical and Analytical Medicine. All rights reserved.Diaphragmatic eventration is a permanent elevation of part or all of the dia-phragmatic leaf. The patient had progressive dyspnea and dyspeptic complaints at gestational week 35. She was followed up with a presumed diagnosis of dia-phragmatic eventration. We present here our intervention in a case where cesar-ean section was performed at gestational week 38 due to progressive dyspnea. Diaphragmatic eventration should be considered after obstetric causes are ruled out in patients who present with non-specific symptoms regardless of their gesta-tional week. The treatment approach should be multidisciplinary, involving gyne-cologists, obstetricians, pediatricians, and pulmonologists, as well as specialists from other branches when necessary.
