Right Hemidiaphragmatic Mobility: Assessment with US Measurement of Craniocaudal Displacement of Left Branches of Portal Vein

Abstract: US measurement of craniocaudal displacement of the left intrahepatic branches of the portal vein can be used for indirect assessment of right hemidiaphragmatic mobility.

“…Para medida da mobilidade diafragmática as radiografias foram sobrepostas, alinhando-se os processos espinhosos das vértebras e, por meio de uma régua milimetrada, foi medida a distância do ponto mais alto da hemicúpula diafragmática (direita e esquerda) da radiografia em expiração máxima, traçando-se a partir daí uma linha, até sua intercessão com a hemicúpula diafragmática da radiografia em inspiração máxima. A distância encontrada foi registrada em centímetros (cm) 18,19 .…”

“…[27][28][29]36 To overcome these limitations, an alternative method to quantify right hemidiaphragm mobility was developed. 37 It used an indirect approach by B-mode ultrasonography with a perpendicular incidence of the ultrasound beam to the craniocaudal axis because of craniocaudal displacement of the left branches of the portal vein. This technique proved to be a valid tool for indirect assessment of right hemidiaphragmatic mobility because it showed a mean difference between ultrasonography and radiography of only 0.4 mm.…”

“…This technique proved to be a valid tool for indirect assessment of right hemidiaphragmatic mobility because it showed a mean difference between ultrasonography and radiography of only 0.4 mm. 37 Considering the same premise, we tried to adapt the described ultrasonographic technique for evaluation of the left hemidiaphragm by measuring the displacement of the hilum and inferior pole of spleen. This alternative approach could be especially interesting because of the greater difficulty in identifying the left hemidiaphragmatic dome due to intervening gas in the splenic flexure, stomach, and bowel.…”

“…Surprisingly, insofar this has not been studied in BLVR protocols. The US measurement of craniocaudal displacement of the left intrahepatic branches of the portal vein was described as an indirect assessment of right hemidiaphragmatic mobility (Toledo, Kodaira et al 2003). Paulin et al (Paulin, Yamaguti et al 2007) created a classification of diaphragmatic dysfunction based on the degree of its mobility.…”
