Unilateral phrenic nerve injury often results in symptomatic hemidiaphragm paralysis. Although diaphragmatic plication is a treatment option, phrenic nerve repair may also be considered in an attempt to restore function of the paralyzed hemidiaphragm and it may be the optimal first line treatment when feasible.
What causes a diaphragm spasm?
The Anatomy of the Phrenic Nerve
Phrenic nerve palsy Symptoms. These are the most common symptoms of the phrenic nerve palsy: Dyspnea (shortness of breath) Orthopnea (dyspnea that is relieved by assuming the orthostatic position) Hiccups (also caused by the irritation of the respective phrenic nerve) Diaphragm paralysis (the patient is no longer able to breathe on his/her own)
Injury to one phrenic nerve leads to paralysis of the ipsilateral diaphragm, often leading to symptoms of dyspnea, which may improve with time. If both phrenic nerves are injured, both diaphragms are affected. If the injury is complete, this usually results in ventilator dependency.
Phrenic nerve paralysis is a common cause of elevation of one side of the diaphragm. It may be due to a variety of problems, including primary lung cancer, malignant mediastinal tumors, and surgery of the mediastinum. It may even be idiopathic.

The phrenic nerve is a mixed motor/sensory nerve which originates from the C3-C5 spinal nerves in the neck. The nerve is important for breathing because it provides exclusive motor control of the diaphragm, the primary muscle of respiration....Phrenic nerveTA26380FMA6191Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy9 more rows
The phrenic nerve must be identified in cervical and thoracic surgical dissection to preserve the neuromuscular pathways. Superior to the clavicle, the phrenic nerve can be located in the posterior triangle of the neck, superficial to the anterior scalene.
