    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic surgery
    • Surgical case reports
    • Abdominal wall reconstruction

    Background:

    • Spontaneous or traumatic diaphragmatic injuries are uncommon.
    • Cough-induced trauma can lead to severe thoracic and abdominal wall complications.
    • Intercostal hernias are rare, particularly when containing abdominal viscera.

    Observation:

    • A 72-year-old male presented with multiple rib fractures.
    • The patient also had a significant diaphragmatic tear.
    • An intercostal hernia was noted, containing abdominal contents.

    Findings:

    • The case demonstrates a rare triad of cough-induced injuries: rib fractures, diaphragmatic rupture, and intercostal hernia.
    • Surgical repair techniques for this complex presentation are discussed.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Literature review highlights the rarity and management challenges of such injuries.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the potential for severe thoracic and abdominal wall damage from forceful coughing.
    • Emphasizes the need for prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention in similar cases.
    • Contributes to the understanding of rare diaphragmatic and abdominal wall pathologies and their surgical management.
