The authors report a case of right-sided paralysis of the diaphragm which revealed a lung cancer extending to the mediastinum and involving the right phrenic nerve. This case underlines the limitations of thoracic imaging in case of phrenic nerve paralysis. It also demonstrates the value of early exploratory thoracotomy in all patients with allegedly "idiopathic" unilateral phrenic nerve paralysis.
作者报告了一例右侧膈肌麻痹病例，该病例显示肺癌已蔓延至纵隔并累及右侧膈神经。此病例突显了膈神经麻痹时胸部影像学检查的局限性。它还证明了对于所有据称“特发性”单侧膈神经麻痹患者进行早期开胸探查的价值。
