Abstract
Diaphragmatic eventration is a rare presentation pathology, in which there is an abnormal elevation of the diaphragm, which can be due to congenital or acquired causes. The case of a 38-week gestational-age newborn with no documented prenatal morbidities and no complications during labor was presented. The patient starts with difficulty when breastfeeding, so he is admitted to the pediatric intensive care area. A chest X-ray is performed, showing an abnormality in the right hemithorax; An operating room is taken, where a right posterolateral thoracotomy is performed, showing diaphragmatic eventration, being corrected by plication and intercostal tube. Drainage is removed on the fifth day and the patient is discharged on the seventh postoperative day, tolerating diet and without respiratory distress.
