There are many theories to explain the cause of the depressions. We discuss the theory that these are caused by hypertrophic muscular bands in the diaphragm.<br />Competing Interests: Conflict-of-interest statement: There are no conflicts of interest to declare for any of the authors.<br /> (©The Author(s) 2024.
