ABSTRACT
We report a case of delayed diaphragmatic injury caused by lower rib fractures. A 56-year-old male was referred to our hospital due to the fractures of right lower ribs. Chest X-ray revealed pneumothorax, and the patient was hospitalized for follow-up. On the sixth day after the injury, the patient suddenly complained of chest pain and respiratory distress, and then shock status developed. Chest computed tomography (CT) revealed massive pleural effusion. An emergency operation was performed. The injury of the diaphragm was found. Fracture of the lower rib can cause diaphragmatic injury leading to massive hemorrhage.
