Abstract
A case of isolated rupture of the right hemidiaphragm secondary to blunt abdominal trauma with hepatic herniation into the right thorax is described. Early diagnosis was established by a liver scan obtained in the acute stage of injury. Primary repair was followed by uneventful recovery. This case indicates that liver imaging is a very helpful method in the early diagnosis of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia as well as in hepatic injury.
