Abstract:
Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (TDHs) are uncommon, and they mostly occur following blunt or penetrating traumatic injury and rarely as a complication of Iatrogenic procedure. The management of TDHs is through surgical repair. In this article, we present the case of a diaphragmatic herniation presenting 1 year after thoracic surgery in a 16-year-old male. The patient presented with gastrointestinal obstruction symptoms and later developed a hypovolemic shock due to stomach bleeding. Immediate exploratory thoracotomy was performed, and the patient reached a full recovery afterward.
