Late Complication of Diaphragmatic Injury

Omer Hamza Ali*

August 01, 2025

Abstract

Traumatic diaphragmatic injury is not an uncommon consequence of blunt or penetrating trauma to the abdomen or thorax. It may present acutely with hemodynamic and respiratory compromise and may be associated with significant injuries to other organs. However, it can also be missed during the initial trauma evaluation and manifest later as a diaphragmatic hernia with severe complications [1].
