Abstract
The most frequent cause of diaphragmatic paralysis and hoarseness of voice is involvement of phrenic nerve
and recurrent laryngeal nerve by a thoracic malignancy. Here, we describe a patient who developed diaphragmatic paralysis
and hoarseness of voice due to mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenopathy, which is not a common etiological factor
leading to it.
