  • Title: [Secondary traumatic diaphragmatic hernia with incarceration--a diagnostic problem].
    Author: Röthlin M, Schmid R, Speich R, Largiadèr F.
    Journal: Chirurg; 1995 Apr; 66(4):437-42. PubMed ID: 7634962.
    Abstract:
    In this paper we discuss the case of a 64-year-old patient suffering from a traumatic rupture of the diaphragm with delayed manifestation three years after the trauma. The subsequent diagnostic errors gave rise to a discussion of the value of the physical examination, imaging methods and invasive diagnostic methods, particularly laparoscopy and thoracoscopy in the acute and delayed diagnosis of diaphragmatic injuries.
