Abstract EN
Diaphragmatic injury following blunt thoracoabdominal trauma is rare and is usually associated with key radiological features like dependent viscera sign, collar sign, diaphragmatic thickening and defects.
It may also be associated with secondary signs like intrathoracic herniation of abdominal viscera.
Diaphragmatic crura, which are attached to the upper lumbar vertebra represent prominently thickened folds along the posterior diaphragm, are usually inconspicuous on routine Computed Tomography (CT) scans.
We present a case of a young patient who sustained a motor vehicle accident and developed difficulty in breathing.
CT scan of the patient revealed bilateral crural hematomas, with splenic and renal lacerations and no other sign of diaphragmatic injury.
The patient was operated and blunt diaphragmatic rupture was confirmed at surgery.
