Article Synopsis
- Bilateral diaphragmatic paresis, a rare condition linked to severe respiratory issues, was documented in a 69-year-old patient experiencing serious breathing problems after surgery for cholecystitis.
- Physical examination revealed paradoxical breathing and low oxygen levels, prompting further testing that showed diaphragm issues likely caused by phrenic nerve injury.
- Despite a multidisciplinary approach and ongoing rehabilitation, the patient’s recovery has been slow, and he still relies on non-invasive ventilation for respiratory support.
