Diaphragmatic Eventration vs. Paralysis
Imaging findings
Focal elevation of the diaphragm. Fluoroscopy shows preservation of movement in the muscularized anterior portion.
Key takeaways
Use lateral fluoroscopy to distinguish eventration from paralysis; the presence of an intact posterior muscle band typically allows for normal return to height medially near the IVC.
