Heparin-induced thrombosis without thrombocytopenia

Abstract

diagnosis has been confirmed. In this case not treating the traumatic diaphragmatic rupture for a long period caused a very rare complication. Arriving at the diagnosis of diaphragmatic rupture was difficult because we did not consider the possibility of diaphragmatic rupture causing lung lobar torsion. However, torsion was suggested by the opacity observed in the left lung on the chest radiogram and the nearcomplete occlusion of the bronchus revealed by means of bronchoscopy. It is important to consider that lung lobar torsion can occur as a a result of diaphragmatic rupture, and repair should be performed before lung lobar torsion occurs.
