Reversible diaphragmatic paralysis caused by a malpositioned chest tube
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 30 December 2014

We report a case of reversible diaphragmatic paralysis caused by a malpositioned chest tube, a diagnosis to consider when unexplained respiratory failure occurs following drainage of pleural effusion. Prompt recognition and removal of the tube led to full recovery of diaphragm function.
