Abstract

Diaphragmatic injuries are quite uncommon and often result from either blunt or penetrating trauma. Acute traumatic rupture of diaphragm may be unrecognized and there is often a delay between the injury and the diagnosis. This article reviews the case reports of three patients. The first patient had a penetrating trauma of left diaphragm. The diagnosis was made 5 days later. The second patient had herniation with kidney, colon and intestine through the left diaphragmatic rupture. The third patient had right diaphragmatic rupture and herniation with hepar, сolon and stomach. Both cases were presented as early undiagnosed injuries.
