ABSTRACT

Diaphragmatic rupture is a difficult diagnosis to make, it is considered a differential diagnosis. The etiology is usually trauma due to a sudden and massive increase in intra-abdominal pressure, secondary to automobile accidents or blunt trauma. It may be accompanied by associated injuries (perforation, bleeding, herniation of abdominal organs, failure of ventilatory mechanics). Diaphragmatic injuries have a general incidence of 0.46%, within which diaphragmatic rupture is found with a frequency of 0.2%-4% in hospitalized patients secondary to thoracic and/or abdominal contusion.
