Academy, 95 Gor'kogo Str., Blagoveshchensk, 675000, Russian Federation 2 Amur Regional Clinical Hospital, 26 Voronkova Str., Blagoveshchensk, 675028, Russian Federation The article presents the literary overview dedicated to the diaphragmatic hernias. As an example, a case of the traumatic diaphragmatic hernia with the clinical picture of the pleurisy was described. The thoracoabdominal knife injury of the diaphragm was the feasible reason of this hernia. In this case, a long asymptomatic course of the disease with some gastroenterological symptoms was the reason for the early diagnostics not to be performed. Firstly, the patient was hospitalized to the pulmonology department because of the pleurisylike clinical picture of his case. A diaphragmatic hernia was found only after examination of the patient. A laparoscopic operation failed and the patient was successfully treated by the surgery.
