Hi,
Pleurodiaphragmatic adhesion refers to scar tissue between pleura and diaphragm.This could have resulted after previous lung infections such as pneumonia, empyema or due to surgery or chest tube insertion. Generally it may not cause any symptoms other than occasional pain and hence no treatment is usually required.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
