ABSTRACT

Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is an uncommon complication of abdominal blunt trauma and is easily overlooked unless high index of suspicion is maintained. The underlying mechanism for diaphragmatic rupture is due to a high-energy acceleration-deceleration impact that results in a sudden increase in the intra-abdominal pressure. The left diaphragm is more commonly involved. The diagnosis is important because of the high incidence of associated organ damage and complications. The aim of this paper is to present the case of 62 years old patient who developed traumatic diaphragmatic hernia and review the literature related to this entity.
