We describe a 56-year-old female patient hospitalised with COVID-19 in April 2020 who had persistent respiratory symptoms after radiographic and microbiologic recovery. X-ray of the chest demonstrated an elevated right hemidiaphragm while fluoroscopy confirmed unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. Symptoms resolved gradually, concurrent with restoration of right hemidiaphragm function. Thus, we describe a rare cause of postacute sequelae of COVID-19 dyspnoea.
我们描述了一位 56 岁的女性 COVID-19 患者,她于 2020 年 4 月住院,在影像学和微生物学恢复后仍持续有呼吸道症状。胸部 X 射线显示右侧膈肌升高,透视检查证实为单侧膈肌麻痹。症状逐渐缓解,同时右侧膈肌功能恢复。因此,我们描述了一种 COVID-19 后呼吸困难的罕见后遗症。
