    Author: Vaidya S, Biswas M, Rai K.
    Journal: Kathmandu Univ Med J (KUMJ); ; 15(59):265-267. PubMed ID: 30353906.
    Abstract:
    Traumatic rupture of the diaphragm is an uncommon condition. The prevalence of diaphragmatic rupture among blunt trauma victim ranges from 0.8 to 8%. The etiologic factors are blunt trauma (for example, in motor vehicle accidents) and penetrating trauma. The diagnosis is often missed because of non-specific clinical signs, and the absence of additional intra-abdominal and thoracic injuries. We present a case which was misdiagnosed as a case of left sided hemopneumothorax and treated with tube thoracotomy in other center.
