Abstract
-
A case of congenital diaphragmatic eventration on the right and central tendinous portion with accessory hepatic lobe causing direct compression of the right heart is presented. We have performed the video assisted thoracoscopic plication of the right hemidiaphragm and eliminated the mass effect of the accessory hepatic lobe.
