An investigation was undertaken in a series of 10 children operated upon for congenital diaphragmatic defects in regard to the value of simple thoracic X-ray pictures for functional assessment of the repaired diaphragm. The radiographs were taken in forced inspiration as well as in forced expiration and indices were calculated for the mobility of the diaphragm and the costophrenic angle. Moreover, an attempt was made to estimate diaphragmatic contraction by comparing the length of the hemidiaphragm during inspiration and during expiration. The obtained results gave sufficient information for routine investigations of diaphragmatic function and compared well with those of radiocinescopy. An impairment of the mobility of the diaphragm and the costophrenic angle was statistically demonstrated in our follow-up series as compared with a control group of healthy children.
