Overview

An x-ray is helpful in the diagnosis of diaphragmatic paralysis. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis include elevated hemidiaphragm in paralysed side, small lung volumes. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis include smooth elevation of both hemidiaphragms and atelectasis at the lung base

X Ray

Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis:

  • An x-ray is helpful in the diagnosis of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis . Findings on an x-ray diagnostic of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis include:[1]
    • Elevated hemidiaphragm in paralysed side
    • Small lung volumes
    • Atelectasis

Bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis:

  • Findings on an x-ray suggestive of bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis include:
    • Smooth elevation of both hemidiaphragms
    • Small lungs volumes
    • Atelectasis at the lung base
