Diaphragm Translocation as Surgical Treatment for Agenesis of the Right Lung and Secondary Tracheal Compression
A 12-month-old boy was diagnosed with agenesis of the right lung. Mediastinal deviation progressed to the diseased side as the patient matured; therefore, tracheal distortion developed. As a result, tracheal compression developed between the vertebral body and aorta. The patient was repeatedly adm...

| description | A 12-month-old boy was diagnosed with agenesis of the right lung. Mediastinal deviation progressed to the diseased
side as the patient matured; therefore, tracheal distortion developed. As a result, tracheal compression developed
between the vertebral body and aorta. The patient was repeatedly admitted to the hospital because of recurrent
pulmonary infection and combined severe respiratory distress. Diaphragm translocation was performed to
treat the patient. The postoperative course was favorable, and computed tomography scan findings and symptoms
had improved at 1 year after surgery. |
