Journal Title: International Journal of Surgery & Surgical Techniques - Year 2023, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: A sudden massive hemothorax as the initial manifestation of delayed diagnosis of blunt occult diaphragmatic injuries is extremely rare. We report our experience with two cases of sudden massive thoracic hemorrhage treated surgically for occult blunt diaphragm injury. In the present study, we aimed to present the successful rescue of two cases of sudden massive thoracic hemorrhage due to occult blunt diaphragmatic injury during hospitalization by surgical treatment. Sudden massive hemothorax a few days after hospitalization as an initial manifestation of blunt mysterious diaphragm injury is extremely rare.
