TDH may be masked by associated injuries in multiple trauma patients and may lead to life-threatening intestinal and gastric strangulation. So, early diagnosis and treatment of TDH are important. Emergency physicians and trauma surgeon should maintain a high index of suspicion of TDH while dealing with patients assessed for abdominal or respiratory symptoms regardless the history of trauma was recent or delayed.
