Abstract
On this paper we discuss the case of a 64-year-old patient suffering f rom a traumatic rupture of the diaphragm with delayed manifestation th ree years after the trauma. The subsequent diagnostic errors gave rise to a discussion of the value of the physical examination, imaging met hods and invasive diagnostic methods, particularly laparoscopy and tho racoscopy in the acute and delayed diagnosis of diaphragmatic injuries .
