An AP chest radiograph shows elevation of the right hemidiaphragm.
Unilateral Diaphragmatic Elevation: Differentials
- Lung/pleural disease: Pneumonectomy, lobectomy, pleurisy, subpulmonic effusion
- Diaphragm disease: Phrenic nerve palsy / eventration
- Abdominal disease: Hepatomegaly / hepatic mass / abdominal neoplasm / distended stomach
US and CT images demonstrate a very large cyst in the right lobe liver as a cause of elevated right hemidiaphragm.
