Abstract
Diaphragmatic injury is a common clinical condition, and it may be difficult to avoid diaphragmatic hernia if detection and treatment is not timely. Parasternal hernia is mostly congenital. It is relatively rare in adults, and intestinal obstruction as a complication of intrathoracic intestinal herniation occurs only rarely. We treated a patient in whom parasternal hernia occurred 2Â years after thoracic injuries. We present the plain radiography and computed tomography findings of this adult patient with acute abdomen symptoms caused by parasternal hernia.
