Agenesis of right diaphragm in the adults: a diagnostic dilemma.
[congenital diaphragmatic hernia]
Diaphragmatic
agenesis
is
the
most
extreme
form
of
congenital
diaphragmatic
defect
,
and
it
may
be
unilateral
or
bilateral
.
Diaphragmatic
agenesis
is
a
rare
diagnosis
,
typically
made
early
in
infancy
and
is
generally
associated
with
other
genetic
anomalies
,
especially
anueploidy
syndromes
.
It
is
associated
with
a
high
mortality
,
if
not
treated
in
infancy
.
However
,
a
few
patients
have
survived
till
adulthood
.
In
this
report
,
we
describe
the
case
of
an
adult
female
who
presented
with
progressive
shortness
of
breath
during
third
trimester
of
pregnancy
with
complete
agenesis
of
the
right
side
of
the
diaphragm
.
A
new
diaphragm
was
created
using
polypropylene
mesh
after
which
she
improved
symptomatically
and
the
lung
showed
good
expansion
.
