Effectiveness of Spine Correction Belt for Treatment of Diaphragmatic Flutter.
Background: Diaphragmatic flutter is an unusual movement disorder characterized by involuntary and repetitive contractions of the diaphragm. The pathophysiology is unclear. Its treatment is very difficult and challenging.
Case report: A 70-year-old man presented with diaphragmatic flutter associated with severe abdominal pain in a sitting position, which stopped in a supine position. Videofluoroscopy clearly depicted diaphragmatic movements on postural change. A spine correction belt was effective for stopping diaphragmatic flutter.
Discussion: This is the first reported case of diaphragmatic flutter for which a spine correction belt was used as successful and safe treatment.
Highlights: Diaphragmatic flutter is an unusual movement disorder of the diaphragm. We describe a 70-year-old man who presented with diaphragmatic flutter associated with severe pain in a sitting position, which stopped in a supine position. A spine correction belt was used as successful and safe treatment for diaphragmatic flutter.
