Massive left hemothorax following left diaphragmatic and splenic rupture with visceral herniation: A case report

Massive left hemothorax following diaphragmatic and splenic rupture with visceral herniation is quite an uncommon life-threatening condition usually associated blunt thoracoabdominal trauma. Mortality generally coexistent vascular injuries that could be rapidly fatal. Timely, proper diagnosis mandatory as survival depends on prompt treatment. We describe a case of massive secondary to injury rupture, gastric, greater omentum into the thoracic cavity in 32 years old male car driver after sustaining road traffic accident presented shortness breath 4 h’ duration. He also had zone 3 retroperitoneal hematoma acetabular fracture. was treated surgically discharged home improved. Diaphragmatic ruptures are larger leading organs most common organ herniate side stomach followed by small intestine. Splenic very rare cause often missed differential diagnosis. either or penetrating trauma rare. Delayed higher morbidity mortality. A high index suspicion use diagnostic studies crucial for early correct
