MRI diagnosis of delayed presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia

Abstract: Traumatic rupture of the diaphragm may go unrecognized in patients with multiple injuries to the abdomen and chest. The majority of undiagnosed diaphragmatic ruptures will eventually become symptomatic and are associated with a high mortality rate if not treated immediately. Multiplanar imaging with magnetic resonance (MR) provided a definitive diagnosis of delayed presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia.

“…15 In people, CT and MRI scans are being recommended for the sensitive detection of diaphragmatic hernias. 10,16,17 In this case, and despite the previously made recommendation that ultrasonographic evaluation of the diaphragm may differentiate a diaphragmatic rupture from a diaphragmatic hernia, only surgery was able to confirm the diagnosis of true diaphragmatic hernia. Based on previous reports, it is possible that positive-contrast peritoneography could have highlighted the existence of intact parietal pleura, forming a hernial sac, thus revealing the exact nature of the diaphragmatic hernia.…”

“…Akciğer grafisinde yükselmiş diyafragmatik kavisi gösteren yumuşak doku opasitesi, diyafragma kontüründe düzensizleşme, mediastinal yer değiştirme ve ilerletilen nazogastrik tüpün anormal yerleşimi gibi bulgular tespit edilebilir (1) . Ayrıca akciğer grafisinde hemotoraks, pnömotoraks ve kot fraktürü gibi spesifik olmayan bulgular saptanabilir (3,6,10,13,15) . Ancak bu bulguların hiç biri tanıya spesifik değildir ve nonspesifik diyafragma elevasyonu, akciğer kontüzyonu, atelektazi ve plevral effüzyon ile maskelenebilir.…”

“…Dahası başlangıçta çekilen akciğer grafisi normal olabilir (1) . TDR tanısını kesinleştirmek veya dışlamak için akciğer grafisi yanında, floroskopi, ultrasonografi, bilgisayarlı tomografi, sindirim sisteminin kontrastlı pasaj grafileri ve manyetik rezonans görüntüleme faydalı olabilecek radyolojik yöntemlerdir (3,10,13,15) . İlk olguda travma anında akciğer grafisinde sol hemitoraksta minimal plevral effüzyon saptanmasına rağmen hastanın ayırıcı tanısında TDR düşünülmemişti.…”
