OR
- Ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of diaphragmatic paralysis . Findings on an ultrasound suggestive of diaphragmatic paralysis include:[1]
- Abnormal paradoxical movement during inspiration (cranial movement)
- Less than 20% thickening of the diaphragam is seen in diaphragmatic paralysis.
- [Finding 3]
O
- There are no echocardiography/ultrasound findings associated with [disease name]. However, an echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful in the diagnosis of complications of [disease name], which include:
- [Complication 1]
