Abstract

Introduction: Congenital diaphragmatic eventration (CDE) is defined as the abnormal elevation of the diaphragm, due to incomplete muscularization of the diaphragm with a thin membranous sheet replacing normal diaphragmatic muscle. Case report: We report a prenatal case with a diaphragmatic mesothelial cyst combined with CDE. Conclusion: A large cystic mass between the thoracic wall and the liver in early pregnancy is highly suggestive of cystic diaphragm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
