A dilemma often faces the clinician who is asked to evaluate unilateral elevation of a hemidiaphragm that is identified on routine chest roentgenogram. The possibilities include neoplasm, infection, neuromuscular disease, trauma, or benign etiologies. We present an asymptomatic patient with this finding to provide some guidelines for the nature and extent of further investigation of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis.
临床医生在评估常规胸部X线片上发现的一侧膈肌抬高时常常面临两难境地。可能的病因包括肿瘤、感染、神经肌肉疾病、创伤或良性病因。我们报告了一名有此表现的无症状患者，旨在为单侧膈肌麻痹进一步检查的性质和范围提供一些指导原则。
