چکیده

Rupture of the diaphragm and herniation of the abdominal viscera into the chest are wellrecognized results of crushing or penetrating injuries. Gordon Bryan's study (1921) of both types of injury is a surgical classic. The second world war rekindled interest in traumatic diaphragmatic hernia, and several important papers dealt with those due to penetrating injury (Edwards, 1943; Mackey and Bingham, 1945; Morgan, 1945). In peacetime reports from the United States (Hughes, Kay, Meade, Hudson, and Johnson, 1948; Bugden, Chu, and Delmonico, 1955; Desforges, Strieder, Lynch, and Madoff, 1957), from Australia (Sutherland, 1958), and from Great Britain (Evans and Simpson, 1950) have drawn attention to the frequency of traumatic diaphragmatic herniae caused by motor accidents where crushing against the steering-wheel was the common mechanism. In hospitals serving mining and industrial areas traumatic diaphragmatic herniae are more likely to result from falls of coal and rock, or from crushing by trucks and pit cages. They are especially serious because the respiratory function of the injured men is often already impaired by pneumoconiosis and emphysema.
