Permanent hemidiaphragmatic paresis after interscalene brachial plexus block: a case report
Paresia hemidiafragmática pemanente após bloqueio interescaleno do plexo braquial: relato de caso
Nina Cugnin, Benjamin Le Gaillard, Edmundo Pereira de Souza Neto
Abstract
Interscalene brachial plexus block has been widely used in shoulder surgery. We report one case of long-term phrenic palsy following ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block and we will discuss the possible etiology and mechanism of this disability. For painful shoulder surgery, ultrasound-guided interscalene brachial plexus block remains topical. Alternative blocks, such as suprascapular and axillary blocks, may be reserved for patients with pre-existing respiratory pathology.
