Two cases of bilateral diaphragmatic weakness are described in which the condition was the presenting feature of motor neurone disease. Inspiratory muscle strength was assessed by a non-invasive technique involving measurements of pressures generated within the mouth. One patient with severe inspiratory muscle weakness is being treated with domiciliary nasal ventilation and has returned to a good-quality life. The other patient with less severe weakness has thus far required no ventilatory support.
