Post-traumatic diaphragmatic hernia.

Abstract
Post- traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is not an uncommon sequel. But lack of awareness of this condition may delay in diagnosis and result in life-threatening complications. CT scan is regarded as the investigative tool of choice but some prefer Barium studies in delayed cases of diaphragmatic hernia. Chest X- ray and Ultrasonography of the chest and abdomen may also help in arriving at a diagnosis. An awareness of the condition assisted by the radiological investigations will lead to an early diagnosis and treatment which ultimately helps in managing the patients with diaphragmatic hernias better.
