title: [Neglected traumatic diaphragmatic rupture in a thoracic surgery patient sample].
abstract: Ten outdated traumatic ruptures of the diaphragm are reported in this paper. The accidents had been up to 34 year back. Symptoms were rarely characteristic. Long intervals with no complaint were found to be possible. X-ray techniques were helpful in diagnosis in seven cases. All ten patients underwent thoracotomy.
