Laparoscopic Repair of Diaphragmatic Rupture: A Case Report with Radiological and Surgical Correlation by Patrick Nguyen, Bonnie Davis, Daniel D. Tran

“…The diagnosis can be difficult to make as the physical examination may be unremarkable, and imaging, that is, a conventional chest X-ray and/or CT imaging, may initially fail to reveal the injury. Failure to recognize diaphragmatic rupture can result in a delayed presentation, sometimes years later, with a potential catastrophic outcome. …”
