Abstract

Diaphragmatic herniation following blunt injuries is uncommon in children. We present a case report of a child presenting with a diaphragmatic hernia following a trivial injury leading to mediastinal shift and circulatory compromise resulting in a electromechanical dissociation cardiac arrest.
