We describe a case of unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis following a distocic delivery. We think that the rarity of this syndrome in only apparent while, if investigated with fluoroscopy, much more cases can be discovered. Our case is interesting too since the Erb's palsy was contralateral to the diaphragmatic paralysis; that occurs in very few cases.
