title: Traumatic extrathoracic lung herniation.
abstract: We report a case of traumatic extrathoracic lung herniation. This is a rare injury that is potentially life threatening. The imaging features, associated injuries and complications are discussed to facilitate rapid recognition for best patient outcome. Uniquely, we demonstrate the injury with a three-dimensional reconstructed minimum intensity projection.
