Abstract
Diaphragmatic plication is the procedure of choice for congenital diaphragmatic eventration. In the absence of complications, most newborns with eventration do well after plication and have normal long-term respiratory functions. However complications are rare. Recurrence, ipsilateral pneumothorax and rupture of the diaphragm have been reported in literature. We report a case of incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia in a two-year-old child who had undergone plication for eventration of the diaphragm at six months of age.
