Paralysis of phrenic nerve due to enlargement of left atrium.
A 68 year old man was admitted for investigation of a paralysed left hemidiaphragm that had been noted on routine chest radiography. He had a cough productive of a small amount of clear mucoid sputum, moderate exertional dyspnoea, and occasional wheeze but no other respiratory symptoms of note. His medical history included a shrapnel injury sustained in the war, myocardial infarction, and perip...
متن کاملTuberculous Otitis Media Leading to Sequentialib Bilateral Facial Nerve Paralysis
Introduction: Tuberculous otitis media (TOM) is an uncommon, insidious, and frequently misdiagnosed form of tuberculosis (TB). In particular, TOM is usually secondary to direct transmission from adjacent organs, while the primary form has been rarely reported. The main aim of treatment is to start the patient on an antitubercular regime and early surgical intervention to decompress the facial n...
متن کاملAssessment of diaphragm paralysis with oesophageal electromyography and unilateral magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation.
The purpose of this study was to establish a sensitive and reliable method of diagnosing diaphragm paralysis by recording the diaphragm compound muscle action potential (CMAP) using a multipair oesophageal electrode and unilateral magnetic phrenic nerve stimulation. An oesophageal electrode catheter was designed containing six coils (1 cm wide and 3 cm apart), creating an array of four sequenti...
متن کاملUnilateral magnetic stimulation of the phrenic nerve.
BACKGROUND Electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve is a useful non-volitional method of assessing diaphragm contractility. During the assessment of hemidiaphragm contractility with electrical stimulation, low twitch transdiaphragmatic pressures may result from difficulty in locating and stimulating the phrenic nerve. Cervical magnetic stimulation overcomes some of these problems, but this t...
متن کاملPhrenic nerve decompression for the management of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis – preoperative evaluation and operative technique
Background Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis (UDP) can be a very disabling, typically causing shortness of breath and reduced exercise tolerance. We present a case of a surgical decompression of the phrenic nerve of a patient who presented with UDP, which occurred following cervical spine surgery. Methods The workup for the etiology of UDP demonstrated paradoxical movement on "sniff test" an...
