The assessment before surgical plication for unilateral hemidiaphragm (HD) eventration is not clearly defined and no precise criteria exist to really understand which patient is operated with which results depending on the technique used. The goal of this study was to evaluate the place of dynamic magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) before and after plication by developing measurement criteria.
