Rupture of the diaphragm may be traumatic or spontaneous. A spontaneous rupture occurring in a congenital eventration of the diaphragm is extremely rare. Only one such case has been reported previously. We report a case of a 5-month-old male infant who presented with acute life-threatening respiratory distress secondary to spontaneous rupture of a congenital diaphragmatic eventration.
膈肌破裂可能是外伤性的或自发性的。先天性膈膨升中发生的自发性破裂极为罕见。此前仅报道过一例此类病例。我们报告一例5个月大的男婴,因先天性膈膨升自发性破裂继发急性危及生命的呼吸窘迫。
