Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernias(PDH) are possible complications of blunt and penetrating thoracic or abdominal trauma. These hernias may be diagnosed at the time of the initial trauma, but are sometimes recognized only after several months or years during examinations for their related symptoms. We here present the case of a patient in which diagnosis was obtained only after 7 years from t...

Two cases had similar appearances of gross osteolysis of the shafts of the radius and ulna, whilst one had osteolysis of the humeral shaft. The similarities in the radiological appearances especially of the gross osteolysis at the site of tra...
