What might be the cause of pleurodiaphragmatic adhesion?


I'm not a smoker and there is no history of TB in our family...and what are the possible remedies?

I think it means scar like tissue is present on the left hemisphere of the lung between the pleura (which is the space surrounding the lung) and the diaphram (the large muscle that pushes your lungs up when you inhale) and its appearance is tent like. Your right and left lungs are designated as hemispheres, so the word left hemi-diaphram suggests that the adhesion is on the left around the plueral diaphragmatic area.

the doctor can give you medicine for it....

heres a page about TB

It is NOT TB.Inflammation of pleura., usually caused by pneumonia.Diaphragmatic is inflammation of outer pleura, membrane lining the chest cavity& covering each lung
