Abstract
Unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis is rare and usually due to interrupted phrenic nerve conduction of impulses. The idiopathic form is the most common and viral infection has been suggested as the cause. Generally, clinical repercussions are few but may be severe in some cases. We report a case of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis that was successfully treated by plication of the diaphragm affected.
