Abstract
Blunt diaphragmatic injury is notoriously difficult to diagnose. There is no gold standard for radiologic diagnosis of this disease entity. This article reports a case of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture in a 7-year-old girl whose injury was identified on hospital day 2. The discussion includes a review of the physiology of this injury and the utility of radiologic modalities in making a timely diagnosis.Entities:
