Abstract

A case of late presentation of a right-sided diaphragmatic rupture due to blunt chest trauma is presented. The patient suffered from strangulation of a herniated segment of small bowel into the chest. Chest radiography suggested diaphragmatic rupture, computed tomography and sonography established the correct preoperative diagnosis. The prevalence, mechanism of injury and possible complications are reviewed. The value of chest radiography and other imaging techniques is discussed.
