Abstract
Diaphragmatic laceration is not a rare condition after blunt thoraco-abdominal trauma following road traffic accidents. Diagnosis is sometime difficult and clinical presentation devious. Video-assisted thoracic surgery is a safe approach in order to confirm diagnosis and treat, like in this this case of an 86-year-old lady with grade IV injury.Entities:
