“…Cases of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia associated with herniation of the omentum (usually combined with other viscera) have been well documented (7). Bloody ascites has been reported when the omental blood supply is compromised (8).…”

“…[4][5][6][7] Although some surgeons prefer thoracoabdominal inci¬ sions for major hepatic resections, repair of a right-sided diaphragmatic injury can almost always be accomplished through a midline abdominal incision. Although the liver and right kidney provide a measure of protection to the right hemidiaphragm, one wonders whether this protection is sufficient to account for the tenfold greater incidence of diaphragmatic tears on the left side quoted in the recent surgical literature.…”

“…1 The clinical course varies from person to person but respiratory complaints are commonly seen in most of the patients. 2 Spontaneous rupture of the diaphragm during pregnancy is extremely rare and is associated with high mortality. 3 An increase in the intra-abdominal pressure caused by an enlarged uterus likely is an exacerbating factor of a preexistent asymptomatic diaphragmatic hernia.…”

Diaphragmatic rupture during labor is not a very common presentation and usually occurs in patients with prior history of traumatic chest or abdominal injury or any congenital abnormality. We presented a case of a 29 year old woman who presented with sudden breathing difficulty two days after a full-term delivery by caesarean section. e-FAST scan suggested the presence of a massive pleural effusion over right side. CT scan of chest revealed large rent in right diaphragm with superior migration of liver and hepatic flexure. Patient was taken for emergent surgical intervention, inter coastal drainage (ICD) tube was placed and surgical repair was performed, patient was further treated in critical care unit, the patient recovered well and was discharged. Though diaphragmatic hernia rupture during labor are not reported often it is life threatening complication that requires immediate surgical intervention to prevent major complications and mortality.
