Delayed Presentation of Rupture After Venous Angioplasty

Delayed presentation of diaphragmatic rupture after blast injury.

A diaphragmatic injury is usually associated with injury to thoracic or abdominal organs due to blunt or penetrating trauma, and is uncommon after blast injury. We describe a patient with respiratory distress due to herniation of the stomach into the chest through a diaphragmatic injury, sustained 1 year previously when he suffered a blast injury while on deployed military operations, but witho...

Delayed Presentation of Traumatic Intraperitoneal Rupture of Urinary Bladder

Blunt injury of the urinary bladder is well known and usually associates pelvic fractures. Isolated bladder injury is a rare condition and on the other hand, delayed bladder perforation is an extremely rare entity. Herein, we described an unusual case of isolated delayed intraperitoneal bladder rupture that occurred on the third post injury day in a young male in the absence of free intraperito...

Delayed presentation of traumatic rupture of the diaphragm.

Diaphragmatic injuries occur frequently after penetrating rather than blunt trauma and account for 8% of all organ injuries from penetrating trauma. Motor vehicle accidents account for approximately 50% of blunt injuries, followed in frequency by falls from height. The mechanism of injury in these accidents is that the body quickly decelerates while the organs continue to move downward or forwa...

Delayed presentation of diaphragmatic rupture: an unusual case of dyspnea.

Diaphragmatic injuries are relatively rare, and they are the result of penetrating or blunt trauma. Blunt diaphragmatic rupture occurs mainly from high-speed motor vehicle crashes. Sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure may cause a diaphragmatic tear and visceral herniation. The magnitude of the pressure load on the inflexible central tendon by rapid deceleration may cause such catastrophi...
