Abstract

Two patients with traumatic diaphragmatic hernia are presented. Each had a large distended stomach strangulated in the chest, simulating clinically and radiographically the picture of acute tension pneumothorax. One was correctly diagnosed and treated, but the other only following the insertion of an intercostal drain into the stomach. The significance of certain X ray signs, as well as the insertion of a nasogastric tube in making the correct diagnosis are discussed.
