Congenital bilateral eventration of the diaphragm in a pair of male twins.
We present a case of congenital bilateral eventration of the diaphragm in a pair of male twins. The case is associated with severe pulmonary hypoplasia. Both infants died in the neonatal period. An exposure to Thiotepa in the first trimester of the pregnancy is a possible etiologic factor.
