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
