Sleep-disordered breathing in unilateral diaphragm paralysis or severe weakness.
Few data exist concerning sleep in patients with hemidiaphragm paralysis or weakness. Traditionally, such patients are considered to sustain normal ventilation in sleep. In the present study, diaphragm strength was measured in order to identify patients with unilateral paralysis or severe weakness. Patients underwent polysomnography with additional recordings of the transoesophageal electromyog...

متن کاملBilateral diaphragm weakness.
Paralysis of the diaphragm occurring as a result of damage to the phrenic nerves during thoracic and neck surgery is well recognised.' 2 It is likely that weakness, as opposed to complete paralysis, of the diaphragm could occur after less severe trauma to the phrenic nerves. We describe a patient who developed bilateral diaphragm weakness after complicated surgery on a cervical disc, with subse...
متن کاملCorticospinal tract abnormalities are associated with weakness in multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association of MR imaging abnormalities with clinical disability in multiple sclerosis (MS) has been disappointing. This association might be improved by imaging specific functional systems in the central nervous system-for example, the motor system in a patient with weakness. Our aim was to assess the relationship between muscle strength in MS and corticospinal tract...
