  • Title: Delayed presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture.
    Author: Walchalk LR, Stanfield SC.
    Journal: J Emerg Med; 2010 Jul; 39(1):21-4. PubMed ID: 18486412.
    Abstract:
    We present the case of a 57-year-old woman who suffered a delayed presentation of a traumatic diaphragmatic rupture (TDR). Because TDR is frequently missed on initial presentation, a delay between trauma and diagnosis can present a unique diagnostic dilemma for the emergency physician. Important historical clues and physical examination findings are the keys to making this diagnosis.
