Abstract

Diaphragmatic rupture can occur with both blunt trauma chest as well as blunt trauma abdomen which can be associated with herniation of abdominal content into thoracic cavity. Diaphragmatic injury is common following chest injury in 1–7% cases but it's rare following blunt trauma abdomen. In this study we had seen three cases in which there was rupture of diaphragm due to blunt trauma abdomen without any rib fracture and wound over chest. Diagnosis made on chest X-ray. Following laparotomy, rupture of diaphragm with abdominal content herniation was on the right medial side, after which we performed thoracotomy. This case highlights a rare presentation of right medial side rupture of diaphragm following blunt trauma abdomen and correction.
