It is often the result of a thoraco-abdominal trauma. It can generally lead to early or late cardiopulmonary complications due to compression. The objective of this clinical case is to study the physiopathological mechanisms, the diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of this complication. The diagnosis is often difficult in front of a diaphragmatic rupture since there are no specific clinical signs. In our case, the clinical picture on arrival was that of a high occlusion in an immediate postoperative context. The X-ray which makes it possible to visualize the ascended organs but more difficultly the rupture itself could not be carried out. Treatment is essentially surgical. Although the thoracic approach is preferred by several surgeons because of the difficulties of exposing the diaphragm in the presence of the liver, we chose the abdominal approach instead. The postoperative course is made up of parietal suppuration.展开更多
