2021年1月30日 · Elevated diaphragm is when the diaphragm is higher than normal in position. What is elevated diaphragm? A common finding on imaging is elevation of the diaphragm which means that the diaphragm muscle is higher than is usually found on one or both sides.

2023年7月31日 · Elevated Hemidiaphragm is a condition where one portion of the diaphragm is higher than the other. Often elevated hemidiaphragm is asymptomatic and visualized as an incidental finding on radiologic studies like chest X-ray or chest CT (computed tomography).

2023年7月25日 · Explore the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and management of an elevated hemidiaphragm, a condition characterized by one half of the diaphragm positioned higher than the other. Learn about treatment options and strategies to improve respiratory function.

2012年3月8日 · Chest radiographs may reveal elevated hemidiaphragms and basal subsegmental atelectasis. 4 However, elevation of both hemidiaphragms, as is commonly seen in patients who are ventilator-dependent,...

2024年7月18日 · Identify signs and symptoms suggestive of diaphragm disorders, such as exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, or paradoxical thoracoabdominal movements. Implement noninvasive positive-pressure ventilation promptly for symptomatic diaphragmatic paralysis to improve respiratory mechanics.

2023年7月31日 · Elevated Hemidiaphragm is a condition where one portion of the diaphragm is higher than the other. Often elevated hemidiaphragm is asymptomatic and visualized as an incidental finding on radiologic studies like chest X-ray or chest CT (computed tomography).

2024年8月11日 · Diaphragmatic eventration is the abnormal elevation of a portion or entire hemidiaphragm due to a lack of muscle or nerve function while maintaining anatomical attachments. The abnormality can be congenital or acquired, thus presenting in pediatric and adult populations.

2023年3月21日 · An elevated hemidiaphragm may result from direct and indirect causes which include: above the diaphragm 1. decreased lung volume. atelectasis/collapse. prior lobectomy or pneumonectomy. pulmonary hypoplasia. pulmonary fibrosis. diaphragm 3-7. phrenic nerve palsy. cervical myelopathy. neuromuscular disease 11. diaphragmatic eventration ...

2012年3月5日 · Diaphragmatic disease usually manifests as elevation at chest radiography. Functional imaging with fluoroscopy (or ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging) is a simple and effective method of diagnosing diaphragmatic dysfunction, which can be classified as paralysis, weakness, or eventration.

Chest radiography may reveal an elevated hemidiaphragm, pleural effusion, or a localized diaphragm hump or diaphragm mass. The solid, cystic, or heterogeneous nature of the mass is better appreciated with CT scanning or ultrasound imaging.
