(A–C) Three examples of diaphragmatic rupture seen on three modalities
(A–C) Three examples of diaphragmatic rupture seen on three modalities. (A) Portable chest film on admission demonstrates an elevated left hemidiaphragm. There is compression of the gastric air in the fundus, consistent with compression as the stomach traverses the diaphragm. (B) Upper gastrointestinal imaging demonstrates a narrow area of barium entering the chest. Note again the compression. (C) Scout film after embolization of a ruptured spleen shows similar compression of the gastric shadow as seen in (A). Patient was explored, the hernia reduced, and the diaphragm repaired. A Grade IV nonbleeding lacerated spleen was left undisturbed. Source: Chapter 15. Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology, Trauma, 7e Citation: Mattox KL, Moore EE, Feliciano DV.
