Delayed Symptomatology in Traumatic Diaphragmatic Hernia with a Note on Eventration

Agustin Arbulu M.D.1; Raymond C. Read M.D.1; and Ernest M. Berkas M.D.1

Attacks of colic occurring some time after major trauma may indicate traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. The diagnosis depends upon proper interpretation of the roentgenographic study. Immediate surgical repair of the injured diaphragm with careful decortication of the trapped lung is then indicated. Eventration of the diaphragm, although similar in radiographic appearance to traumatic diaphragmatic hernia, is usually found in patients who do not have a history of major trauma and do not have symptoms of colic.
