Abstract
- Purpose: Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a diagnostic challenge for both surgeons and radiologists and generally occurs secondary to blunt and penetrating trauma of thoracoabdominal region.<br />Material and Methods: 56 patients who underwent surgical procedure due to blunt or penetrating trauma were included to the study.<br />Results: There were 37 diaphragmatic ruptures in the left side and 19 patients in the right side. The most common radiological finding was "the direct monitoring of defect" (54,3%).<br />Conclusion: Findings suggestive of diaphragmatic rupture must be carefully evaluated in patients with blunt or penetrating thoracoabdominal trauma.<br /> (Copyright © 2017 Elsevier Inc.
