Fig 2 Thoracic computed tomography scan of the same patient indicated in Fig 1. Diaphragmatic eventration was evident for 20 years. This 63-year-old patient received a diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis 43 years previously. Calcified para-aortic nodes suggest an involvement of the phrenic nerve at this level.

Fig 3 Preoperative and postoperative forced expiratory volume at 1 second (FEV1) values in 10 patients. Two patients were operated on less than 1 year before the completion of the study. *Identifies a patient treated with adjuvant chest radiotherapy for a thymoma diagnosed 3 years after surgical treatment of eventration.
