Case Report: Dyspnea in Pregnancy: An Unusual Cause

Abstract

Eventration of diaphragm is usually asymptomatic, but can present with symptoms ranging from mild dyspnea to a life‑threatening emergency. It can pose a management dilemma when diagnosed incidentally especially during the pregnancy. We report a case of eventration of diaphragm diagnosed during pregnancy and managed conservatively with a favorable feto-maternal outcome.
