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 the paralysed side, small lung volumes. Findings on an x-ray suggestive of bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis include smooth elevation of the 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 lung volumes
- Atelectasis at the lung base
