title: Eventration of diaphragm with gastric duplication cysts: a rare association.
abstract: Eventration of diaphragm is defined as an abnormal and permanent elevation of the hemidiaphragm without defects. It may be congenital (muscular hypoplasia) or acquired (injury of the phrenic nerve). Diaphragmatic eventration has been reported alone or in association with other malformations. Here the authors are presenting a case of eventration of diaphragm with gastric duplication cysts because they could not find such association in the available English literature.
