title: [A bilateral diaphragmatic paralysis due to Parsonage and Turner syndrome--its evolution over eight years].
abstract: The diaphragmatic paralysis is a rare disease whose causes and evolving forms are numerous. We report the development to eight years of paralysis diaphragmatic bilateral attributed to a Parsonage-Turner syndrome: the lack of recovery is proved by respiratory functional follow-up. The therapeutic possibilities, limited, are discussed.
