Discussion: Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture occurs in patients who sustain blunt and penetrating thoracoabdominal injuries. The most common herniated viscera are the stomach and colon on the left side and the liver on the right side. Specific signs in X-ray and Compute tomography (CT) will help in early diagnosis.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture remains a diagnostic challenge for both radiologists and surgeons. Early diagnosis&#13;
and repair of diaphragmatic tears is desirable. Clinical examination coupled with meticulous radiological examinations like&#13;
X-ray and Computed tomography(CT) will help in early diagnosis.&#13;
