title: [Left-sided traumatic diaphragmatic hernia with strangulation (author's transl)].
abstract: A traumatic diaphragmatic hernia was diagnosed in a poly-traumatized 54 year old patient. Daily radiological surveillance showed progressive ascension of the abdominal organs into the chest associated with symptoms of strangulation. The patient was operated in the 3rd day. Splenectomy, reduction of the intra-abdominal contents and suture of the diaphragm resulted in total recovery.
