Delayed Diaphragmatic Herniation
Imaging findings
Initial presentation showed rib fractures and a small possible defect. Follow-up imaging demonstrated progressive, large bowel herniation into the thoracic cavity.
Key takeaways
In the setting of chest trauma and rib fractures, maintain high suspicion for diaphragmatic injury; delayed herniation can occur if the defect is initially small or subtle.
