Abstract:
Traumatic diaphragmatic injury (TDI) is a rare and dangerous sequela of trauma. Right sided TDI is even more uncommon due to the usual protection of the diaphragm by the liver. TDI can present in a delayed fashion, making diagnosis difficult to obtain. In any case TDI needs to be taken very seriously as it can lead to bowel strangulation and require emergency surgery. Multiple approaches have been described in order to definitively repair diaphragmatic defects. This report describes a patient who developed a delayed onset right sided diaphragmatic hernia after experiencing blunt trauma.
