To confirm the identity of the phrenic nerve, a doctor may gently manipulate it to elicit a dartle (diaphragmatic startle) response. [7] The right phrenic nerve may be crushed by the vena cava clamp during liver transplantation. [8] Severing the phrenic nerve, or a phrenectomy, [9] will paralyse that half of the diaphragm. Bilateral ...
Kehr's sign is a classic example of referred pain: irritation of the diaphragm is signaled by the phrenic nerve as pain in the area above the collarbone. This is because the supraclavicular nerves have the same cervical nerves origin as the phrenic nerve, C3, C4, and C5. [citation needed]

In the cervical region, the spinal nerve roots come out above the corresponding vertebrae (i.e., nerve root between the skull and 1st cervical vertebrae is called spinal nerve C1). From the thoracic region to the coccygeal region, the spinal nerve roots come out below the corresponding vertebrae. This method creates a problem when naming the ...
The caval opening of diaphragm [2] (also foramen of vena cava, [1] vena caval foramen [3] [1]) is an opening in the central tendon of diaphragm giving passage to the inferior vena cava [2] [3] as well as to some terminal [2] branches of [2] [1] the right phrenic nerve, [2] [3] and some lymphatic vessels en route to middle phrenic and mediastinal lymph nodes.

The root of the right lung lies behind the superior vena cava and part of the right atrium, and below the azygos vein.That of the left lung passes beneath the aortic arch and in front of the descending aorta; the phrenic nerve, pericardiacophrenic artery and vein, and the anterior pulmonary plexus, lie in front of each, and the vagus nerve and posterior pulmonary plexus lie behind.
Pericardiacophrenic vessels accompany the phrenic nerve in the middle mediastinum of the thorax. The vein drains into the internal thoracic vein , or brachiocephalic vein . [ 1 ]
