Abstract
Traumatic diaphragmatic injuries are associated with delayed diagnosis and consequential morbidity and mortality, due to concomitant injuries of proximal organs overshadowing visibility of the diaphragm as well as the difficulty of the various available modalities to diagnose diaphragmatic injury. The presented case involved a penetrating computed tomography-detected diaphragmatic injury, repaired via abdominal laparoscopy/open technique.
