Shortness of breath is a common symptom reported by patients after gynecologic procedures. Delayed traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a rare cause of shortness of breath.
This report describes the diagnosis and management of a patient with a delayed presentation of a ruptured right hemidiaphragm after a laparotomy for a pelvic mass.
Although rare, delayed presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture should be considered in patients with a history of blunt chest or abdominal trauma as a possible cause of shortness of breath in the postoperative setting.
呼吸急促是妇科手术后患者报告的常见症状。迟发性创伤性膈肌破裂是呼吸急促的罕见原因。
本报告描述了一名因盆腔肿块行剖腹手术后出现右侧膈肌破裂延迟表现患者的诊断和治疗。
尽管罕见，但对于有钝性胸部或腹部创伤史的患者，在术后出现呼吸急促时，应考虑迟发性创伤性膈肌破裂的可能性。
