2019, Journal of Visceral SurgeryCitation Excerpt :Sudden elevation of intra-abdominal pressure secondary to blunt abdominal trauma can lead to localized rupture of the posterior part of the diaphragm, the embryonic weak spot. Another mechanism can be responsible when the trauma impact is lateral or when there are associated rib fractures, in which the peripheral attachments of the diaphragm are torn [7,10,15] (Fig. 3). Diaphragmatic ruptures occur more frequently on the left (65% of cases); bilateral rupture is exceptional [1,6].
