Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare condition in which a portion of the entire diaphragm is permanently elevated, despite all the muscle insertions being intact. It differs from the hernia for the absence of continuous solutions along its entire surface. Technically, it is distinguished by etiology from acquired diaphragmatic paralysis even if it manifests itself with the same radiological characteristics. True eventration is a congenital disorder due to anomalies of development of the musculature of a portion (usually the central one) or the whole diaphragm.

Abstract
Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare condition in which a portion of the entire diaphragm is permanently elevated, despite all the muscle insertions being intact. It differs from the hernia for the absence of continuous solutions along its entire surface. Technically, it is distinguished by etiology from acquired diaphragmatic paralysis even if it manifests itself with the same radiological characteristics. True eventration is a congenital disorder due to anomalies of development of the musculature of a portion (usually the central one) or the whole diaphragm.
