Abstract

Congenital diaphragma evantration: a case report Diaphragmatic eventration is characterized by a permanent elevation of diaphragma, which can not complete its muscularization during gestation. Intraabdominal organs at the affected side compress lungs due to loose diaphragma and impair pulmonary functions, and problems related to the organs at the contralateral side may occur due to the mediastinal shift. Patients may present with diverse complaints, ranging from mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and vomiting to life-threatening respiratory distress. Although it can be asymptomatic, it may cause recurrent pneumonia impairing lung inflation. We herein report a case with congenital diaphragmatic eventration presenting with recurrent pneumonia.

Özet

Diyafragma evantrasyonu, gebelik esnasında yeterli müsküler gelişimini sağlayamayan diyafragmanın yüksek yerleşimli olması ile karakterizedir. Karındaki organlar gevşek yapılı diyafragma etkisiyle akciğerlere baskı yapmakta, pulmoner fonksiyonları etkilemekte ve mediyastinal kayma sonucunda etkilenen tarafın karşı tarafındaki organlara ait problemler ortaya çıkmaktadır. Hastalar bulantı ve kusma gibi hafif gastrointestinal semptomlardan hayatı tehdit edici solunum sıkıntısı tablosuna kadar çok değişik yakınmalarla başvurabilir. Asemptomatik seyredebildiği gibi, akciğerin havalanmasını bozarak tekrarlayan pnömonilere neden olabilmektedir. Bu makalede tekrarlayan pnömoni tablosuyla seyreden konjenital diyafragma evantrasyonlu bir olgu sunulmaktadır.
