Abstract

My thesis is mainly a radiological study of Elevation of the diaphragm with some observations on the differential diagnosis. I have added to the title that of Unilateral phrenic paralysis for two reasons; firstly, I hope to show during the course of this paper that certain forms of congenital elevation of the diaphragm are probably due to a unilateral phrenic paralysis, and secondly, to present for consideration a number of cases in which paralysis of one or other leaflet of the diaphragm was caused by a definite pathological lesion involving the phrenic nerve in its pasage through the thorax.
