CT in complete congenital eventration of diaphragm with aplasia of lung.
Complete eventration of the diaphragm and pulmonary aplasia, though rare anomalies, should be considered in new-borns with respiratory distress. Such anomalous conditions occurring either alone or in combination elude diagnosis and pose problems for management. CT is a very effective, non invasive means of diagnosis which in the past depended largely on invasive procedures such as bronchography, angiography and thoracotomy.
