INTRODUCTION: Diaphragmatic eventration, defined as permanent elevation of the diaphragm without defects, is a rare anomaly in adults. Trauma, neoplasms, infection, and degenerative disease are the most common causes of this condition, whereas idiopathic eventration of the diaphragm is relatively infrequent.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: We herein present the rare case of an 85-year-old female with idiopathic eventration of the bilateral diaphragm. The patient demonstrated a rapidly progressive course with dyspnea; therefore, thoracoscopic surgery of the unilateral diaphragm was performed. She subsequently withdrew from home oxygen therapy, which had introduced preoperatively, and exhibited a significant improvement in her pulmonary function for one year after the operation.
DISCUSSION: Various approaches for diaphragmatic plication have been reported, including open (transthoracic or transabdominal) and minimally invasive methods, such as thoracoscopic or laparoscopic plication. We consider thoracoscopic plication to be an effective minimally invasive method, although single-lung ventilation is required.
CONCLUSION: We experienced a case in which thoracoscopic plication of the unilateral diaphragm resulted in adequate objective improvements in the pulmonary function in a patient with idiopathic eventration of the bilateral diaphragm.
