The phrenic nerve palsy was thought to be caused by compression of the cervical spinal cord and its nerve root. The patient received a C3 laminectomy, a C4\u20136 laminoplasty, and a left C3\u20134 and C4\u20135 posterior foraminotomy. After surgery, she improved her maximum inspiratory pressure and respiratory function.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>LESSONS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cervical canal and foraminal stenosis may cause hemidiaphragmatic paralysis due to radiculopathy-induced phrenic nerve palsy.
