Out of 207 cases died of trauma, diaphragmatic rupture takes part in 18 (8.7%). The authors tested how often closed diaphragmatic rupture takes part with correlation of neighboring anatomic injury. Because of these rare incidence, a surgeon with injury of the next organs to the diaphragm needs always to think of it's rupture.
