title: [Bilateral congenital eventration of the diaphragm with lobar giant emphysema (author's transl)].
abstract: The authors relate the difficulties in management of bilateral congenital diaphragmatic eventration in a new-born. After the surgical correction of the left diaphragmatic eventration, an opacity at the base of the right hemithorax was studied by concomittant pulmonary and hepatic scintigraphy and by pneumoperitoneum. The right diaphragmatic eventration was secondarily treated. The baby was later reoperated twice : on the left side at the age of 7 months for a partial relaps of the left eventration, then at the age of 9 months for a malformative giant lobar emphysema of the right middle lobe, requiring lobectomy.
