Bilateral phrenic nerve palsy in a diabetic causing respiratory failure

Abstract: Neuropathy is one of the major reasons of morbidity in diabetes mellitus (DM). We presented a 64-year-old male who was a case of type 2 DM for >6 years. He presented with orthopnea and respiratory failure secondary to bilateral phrenic neuropathy and resultant diaphragmatic palsy. Clinical examination, ultrasound, and nerve conduction studies confirmed the bilateral involvement of the phrenic nerves. Phrenic neuropathy may be an important, albeit a rare complication of diabetes, and hence, diaphragmatic dysfun… Show more

“…However, to date, there exist scarce studies that examine the functional and morphological in NMJ [35]. One of the reports suggests that diabetes could affect the phrenic nerve, causing respiratory complications [37]. In addition, a significative reduction in the transversal surface of the phrenic nerve has been observed in diabetic animal models [35,38], and a diaphragm with lipid accumulation in the red fibers associated with partial atrophy of the white fibers but no evaluation of the diaphragmatic function was performed before animal euthanasia [38].…”

“…При различных заболеваниях исследование показателей латентности и амплитуды М-ответа при ЭНГ диафрагмального нерва и данных УЗИ является перспективным в качестве дополнительного источника информации при невропатии и поражении цервикальных сегментов спинного мозга, а также при прогнозировании развития дыхательной недостаточности у пациентов с острой и с хронической патологией нервной системы (синдром Гийена-Барре с нарушением дыхательной функции, перинатальная травма шейного сплетения, боковой амиотрофический склероз и др.) и осуществления нейрофизиологического мониторинга эффективности лечебного процесса [19][20][21][22][23]. Для использования данных параметров в клинической педиатрической практике необходимо наличие собственной базы нормативных нейрофизиологических показателей.…”
