Bilateral eventration of the diaphragm associated with malrotation of gut and unilateral renal agenesis is a very rare entity. The authors treated a seven mth old male child who presented to them with respiratory distress and gastrointestinal problem. The child was anemic and was in type II respiratory failure. His X-ray chest showed bilateral eventration of diaphragm and ultrasonography abdomen was consistent with left renal agenesis which was confirmed by radionuclide scan. Bilateral plication of the diaphragm done with correction of malrotation which was diagnosed peroperatively. The association of these three anomalies are rare and to be kept in mind whenever treating a patient with bilateral eventration of the diaphragm.
