Abstract
Pericardium and heart injuries are rare situations accompanying to traumatic diaphragmatic ruptures. We diagnosed diaphragmatic rupture for a 42 year old man after a traffic accident. First, the patient underwent laparotomy and the diaphragmatic rupture was tried to be repair intraabdominally. For more safety repair we decided to perform thoracotomy. This exploration showed that pericardium was ruptured, the heart was herniated. Laparotomy is first choice treatment of acute diaphragmatic ruptures. However, thorax must be lightened absolutely in the diaphragmatic ruptures which repaired intraabdominally and intrathoracic organs must be evaluated closely in every step.
