[Late manifestation of a right-sided diaphragmatic rupture].
Diaphragmatic rupture is commonly of traumatic origin and can complicate thoracoabdominal injuries. Some cases are diagnosed after a delay of years. We present three patients with a rupture of the right hemi-diaphragm with herniation of liver fragments, and discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
