Article Synopsis
- - Diaphragmatic paresis or paralysis can occur on one side (unilateral) or both sides (bilateral) and can range from no symptoms to severe respiratory failure.
- - Respiratory tests show reduced pressures and vital capacity, especially when lying down compared to sitting.
- - Unilateral cases are usually temporary and often occur after surgery, while bilateral cases are more permanent and linked to neuromuscular conditions; treatments may include managing underlying causes, improving overall health, and in some cases, surgical options like diaphragmatic plication.
