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.
The diaphragm is a muscle that separates the chest (thoracic) and abdominal cavities and is controlled by the phrenic nerve. Diaphragmatic paralysis, whether it occurs in one or both sides of the diaphragm, is uncommon. In patients where one side of the diaphragm is paralyzed, the paralysis occurs in the left and right side with equal frequency.
