Abstract
The diagnosis of right-sided diaphragmatic rupture (RDR) due to blunt abdominal trauma is often missed in the acute setting, especially in the absence of other thoracoabdominal injuries. We describe two such children. The problems associated with the diagnosis and management of RDR are discussed to emphasize the need to have a high index of suspicion for this entity.Entities:
