title: [A case of traumatic right diaphragmatic hernia diagnosed by pleurography].
abstract: The diagnosis of traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is relatively easy on the left side, but is often difficult on the right, partly because the herniated organ is usually the liver. Recently, we experienced a relatively rare case of traumatic right diaphragmatic hernia and found that pleurography was useful for its diagnosis. This case is reported here together with some discussion of the literature.
