Diaphragmatic hernias are well-known sequelae of abdominal and chest wall trauma. However, they may go undiagnosed in the acute setting but present later due to gastrointestinal or respiratory complications. A distinctive presentation of a diaphragmatic hernia 15 years after a traumatic insult is herein described. Management strategies are also discussed.
