Diaphragm Rupture Caused by Cookware Handle Penetrating to The Chest

Abstract

Penetrating trauma generates about 30% of chest trauma. Rupture of diapragm has seen approximately 10-15% of penetrating chest trauma. Rupture of diapragm is a well-known but rarely seen and so not often considered and can easily be overlooked major complication of chest injuries. We aimed to present the patient who developed rupture of diapragm after an accident in a factory by a cookware handle slide into his chest. [Cukurova Med J 2014; 39(3.000): 620-624]
