[THe echographic diagnosis of diaphragmatic eventration in newborn infants. 2 cases].
The authors report two cases of neonatal partial diaphragmatic eventration. The diagnosis in both two cases was echographic more than radiographic. The authors underline the role of B-mode echography in the diagnosis and follow-up of diaphragmatic anomalies, especially eventration, and suggest that examination of diaphragm and of its motion should complete any abdominal and thoracic echography.
