Injury at this level of the spinal cord might injure the phrenic nerve. This nerve supplies the diaphragm, which permits inspiration and expiration. If this nerve is damaged, the impulses no longer reach the diaphragm and the diaphragm stops contracting.
Causes of Diaphragmatic Paralysis. Diaphragmatic paralysis is almost always due to problems with the nerves. Less frequently it is due to muscle problems affecting the diaphragm. Sometimes it arises for unknown reasons but at times it is termed idiopathic due to inadequate investigations.
