    Area of Science:

    • Trauma surgery
    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Gastrointestinal surgery

    Background:

    • A 24-week pregnant woman presented with a previously undiagnosed right-sided traumatic diaphragmatic hernia.
    • The diaphragmatic hernia was attributed to a motor vehicle injury sustained 8 years prior.

    Observation:

    • The patient experienced severe anemia, potentially related to the undiagnosed hernia.
    • Diagnostic imaging confirmed a significant defect in the diaphragm.

    Findings:

    • Surgical repair of the diaphragmatic defect was successfully performed.
    • Correction of severe anemia was achieved concurrently with hernia repair.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the potential for delayed diagnosis of traumatic diaphragmatic hernias.
