Rare association of eventration of left hemidiaphragm with ipsilateral thyroid agenesis.

Eventration is a well-known congenital malformation of the diaphragm, usually asymptomatic and diagnosed incidentally on chest radiography. It is sometimes associated with a number of other congenital syndromes and anomalies. We report a rare case of eventration of left hemidiaphragm associated with gastric volvulus, ipsilateral thyroid agenesis and microphthalmia. [Indian J Chest Dis Allied Sci 2012;54:131-133]
