In general, diaphragmatic eventration (DE) is defined as abnormal elevation of all (or a portion of) an attenuated (but otherwise intact) diaphragmatic leaf [1].

Abstract
In general, diaphragmatic eventration (DE) is defined as abnormal elevation of all (or a portion of) an attenuated (but otherwise intact) diaphragmatic leaf [1]. The term “eventration” was used first by Becklard in 1829 (through Petit probably described the condition in 1970). Bingham described plication of the diaphragm in 1954 [2, 3]. Based on etiopathogenesis, DE may be classified as “congenital” or “acquired” even though the clinical features and principles of management are similar for both forms.
