Abstract

Diaphragmatic rupture injury is usually seen in the setting of a high speed motor vehicle accident. Rupture of the left diaphragm is common when compared to the right side in the setting of diaphragmatic blunt injury. In this case report, we discuss a rare incident of right hepatothorax following a high speed motor accident.
