title: [Traumatic lesions of the diaphragm].
abstract: The authors report their experience of 21 cases of post-traumatic hernias of the diaphragm. On the basis of the results obtained by discussion of etiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic patterns they make at the conclusion that the high mortality, associated with diaphragmatic hernias, can be reduced only with a short time of diagnosis and a prompt surgical treatment of the associated lesions.
