| Popis: | A case of bilateral congenital eventration of the diaphragm is reported. Antenatal ultrasonography indicated the presence of a left diaphragmatic hernia; severe respiratory distress was present immediately following birth, and with the patient at the age of 7 h plication of the membranous left hemidiaphragm was performed. Postoperatively, respiratory distress persisted; X-ray films revealed an elevated right hemidiaphragm, which was plicated on the 11th day of life. |
