The authors report a case of post traumatic tetraplegia at the C1-C2 level in a young man of 16 with total respiratory paralysis treated with mechanical ventilation and a tracheotomy. Thirty months after the accident, an Avery S 232(1) diaphragmatic pacemaker was surgically implanted by the mediastinal approach. The technique was rapidly successful and enabled satisfactory ventilation and phonation two months after the implantation. The patient is currently treated at home with no signs of diaphragmatic fatigue 20 months after the implantation of the stimulator.
