Delayed diaphragmatic hernia: an unusual complication of tube thoracostomy.

Berkant Ozpolat1, Orhan Veli Doğan, Ertan Yücel.   

Abstract

The nature of a tube thoracostomy -a blind maneuver- renders it subject to complications. Nevertheless, it is very uncommon to create a diaphragmatic hernia with this procedure. Herein, we present the occurrence of this complication after six months under emergency conditions that was treated by thoracotomy.
