Abstract
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.
