Background: Bilateral diaphragmatic dysfunction can lead to dyspnea and recurrent respiratory failure. In rare cases, it may result from high cervical spinal cord ischemia (SCI) due to anterior spinal artery syndrome (ASAS). We present a case of a patient experiencing persistent isolated diaphragmatic paralysis after SCI at level C3/C4 following thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) for Kommerell's diverticulum. This is, to our knowledge, the first documented instance of a patient fully recovering from tetraplegia due to SCI while still exhibiting ongoing bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. Case presentation: The patient, a 67-year-old male, presented to the Vascular Surgery Department for surgical treatment of symptomatic Kommerell's diverticulum in an aberrant right subclavian artery. After successful surgery in two stages, the patient presented with respiratory insufficiency and flaccid tetraparesis consistent with anterior spinal artery syndrome with maintained sensibility of all extremities. A computerized tomography scan (CT) revealed a high-grade origin stenosis of the left vertebral artery, which was treated by angioplasty and balloon-expandable stenting. Consecutively, the tetraparesis immediately resolved, but weaning remained unsuccessful requiring tracheostomy. Abdominal ultrasound revealed a residual bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis. A repeated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) 14 days after vertebral artery angioplasty confirmed SCI at level C3/C4. The patient was transferred to a pulmonary clinic with weaning center for further recovery. Conclusions: This novel case highlights the need to consider diaphragmatic paralysis due to SCI as a cause of respiratory failure in patients following aortic surgery. Diaphragmatic paralysis may remain as an isolated residual in these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
