摘　　要：Diaphragm eventration is the permanent elevation of a hemidiaphragm and can be due to congenital or acquired causes.It is a rather uncommon condition in adults and causes a spectrum of symptoms,ranging from asymptomatic incidental findings on imaging to life-threatening respiratory distress.Asymptomatic patients do not require any treatment,but plication is the conventional,well-known method for treating symptomatic patients.Management varies depending on the symptoms.In this article,we discuss two rare cases of diaphragmatic eventration that were treated with minimal access surgery.
