ABSTRACT
A six-month old boy and a thirty-month old girl who suffered from dyspnea were admitted to our hospital. Their primary disease was congenital myopathy, and both of them had a history of recurrent pneumonia. Chest X-ray scan showed unilateral diaphragmatic eventration. To minimize the injury of weakened respiratory muscle in children with myopathy, VATS plication was performed under double lung ventilation. Each of the two patients were discharged on the 17th and 24th postoperative day. We report two cases of successful VATS plication in children with diaphragmatic eventration associated with congenital myopathy.
