Dissociated paralysis of the diaphragm following phrenic crush and pneumoperitoneum.
نویسنده
چکیده
In 1939 Douady and others reported for the first time dissociated paralysis of the diaphragm. It occurred in two patients during the course of phrenic alcoholization and pneumoperitoneum therapy for pulmonary tuberculosis. Since then no further cases have been found in the literature. The object of this paper is to report another case and to discuss the therapeutic and anatomical significance of this occurrence.

Until recently, there has been little interest in the pathophysiology of diaphragm paralysis since few treatment options existed. METHODS We present three cases of symptomatic diaphragm paralysis in which a clear clinico-pathologic diagnosis ...
