Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report on a 70-year-old male who was admitted to hospital due to progressive onset of dyspnea and fever. Diagnostic work-up revealed a high diaphragmatic position, compression of the right heart and supraventricular tachycardia. A simultaneous incidental finding was hepatodiaphragmatic colonic interposition (Chilaiditi's syndrome). Diaphragmatic plication through a right thoracotomy with bowel reduction was effective to treat the patient.This is the second reported case in the literature of a simultaneous occurrence of diaphragmatic eventration and Chilaiditi's syndrome. |
