Abstract
We present a case of missed diaphragmatic rupture which was treated thoracoscopically. Rupture of the diaphragm is a serious complication of blunt trauma. The diaphragmatic injury can easily be overlooked. This report illustrates the diagnostic dilemma in a patient where the injury was missed at the time of initial presentation. The role of thoracoscopy both for diagnosis and therapy is discussed.Entities:
