Acquired Diaphragmatic Hernia: A Case Report
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Diaphragmatic hernias can be described as congenital hernias or traumatic hernias (including those following penetrating trauma, blunt trauma and unrecognized diaphragmatic rupture) [1]. A blunt trauma to chest or abdomen is the main cause of diaphragmatic injury. This injury occurs in 1.1-3.9% of the cases following a trauma [2,3]. Then, acquired diaphragmatic hernia (ADH) occurs in less than 50% of the patients with diaphragmatic injuries [2,4]. Although ADH can be presented with obvious symptoms but also ADH can be missed in immediate phase .Some serious symptoms occurs following herniation of abdominal viscera into the thoracic cavity [5]. We reported an old case of ADH with symptoms of bowel obstruction following a recent blunt trauma to his abdomen.
