title: [Traumatic right diaphragmatic hernia: report of a case and review of the diagnostic methods].
abstract: Rupture of the right hemidiaphragm from blunt trauma is uncommon. Better management and more rapid transportation of victims has increased the frequency with which patients sustaining this injury are arriving at the emergency room alive. A case of right-sided diaphragmatic hernia from blunt trauma in a 36-year-old man is reported. Diagnosis was established by chest x-ray, CT scan and digital exploration after unsuccessful thoracoscopy. The methods used for diagnosis of this condition are analysed.
