Diaphragmatic ruptures are usuallyassociated with abdominal trauma however,it can occur in isolation. Acute traumaticrupture of the diaphragm may go unnoticedand there is often a delay between the injuryand the diagnosis. A comprehensive literaturesearch was performed using the terms“delayed presentation of post traumaticdiaphragmatic rupture” and “delayeddiaphragmatic rupture”. The diagnosticand management challenges encounteredare discussed, together with strategies fordealing with them.In our hospital, we had one patientwho has been diagnosed as a TDH. Wewerefocused on mechanism of injury,duration, presentation and site of injury,visceral herniation, investigations anddifferent approaches for repair. We intendto do a laparoscopic repair, but it diagnosedas a TDH so we did open Laparotomy.
