Bilateral phrenic neuropathy as a presenting feature of multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block

S R Beydoun et al. Muscle Nerve. 2000 Apr.

Abstract

Diaphragmatic paralysis has previously been reported as a result of diverse pathologic processes involving the peripheral nervous system. We report the clinical history, physical findings, and antibody profile of an atypical case of multifocal motor neuropathy with conduction block initially presenting with respiratory failure secondary to bilateral phrenic neuropathy.
