Abstract:Traumatic diaphragmatic hernias (DH) are very rare and usually present
acutely but might represent after years of minor trauma. We present a
female with epigastric pain and no history of trauma. Scans showed
several cavities. Surgery was performed and the abdominal viscera were
returned with no complications.
