A Rare Case Mimicking Pleural Effusion

Abstract

Congenital diaphragmatic eventration is a common condition in infancy but a rare anomaly in adults. The association of this condition with a wandering spleen in the thoracic cavity is even rare. Here we report a case of total congenital eventration of left diaphragm with wandering spleen in an adult which mimicked like a pleural effusion at first presentation.
