Abstract
Total eventration of the hemidiaphragm is a rare condition in adults. We report a 75-year-old woman with large eventration of the right diaphragm who required an emergency plication because of acute progressive respiratory distress. The symptom disappeared immediately after operation. Even in asymptomatic elderly patients with eventration, close follow-up is recommended.
