Although acquired diaphragmatic rupture is often associated with trauma, rarely it may be spontaneous (atraumatic). Spontaneous diaphragmatic rupture is
one of the rarest thoracoabdominal emergencies, and is harder to detect in patients without visceral damage. Diagnosis may be delayed by several months or
even years. A sceptical approach, combined with thorough physical examination and the correct interpretation of the chest X-ray, are very important in diagnosis.
In this report we present a patient who was admitted to the emergency department with stomach pain, nausea, vomiting and hiccups lasting for 3 days, and
was diagnosed with spontaneous diaphragmatic rupture. The patient was treated with thoracotomy, and the defect was repaired primarily.

Keywords: Spontaneous diaphragmatic lesion, diaphragmatic hernia, radiological diagnosis, thoracotomy

Kazanılmış diyafram rüptürleri çoğunlukla travma ile ilişkili olup nadiren spontan (atravmatik) gelişebilir. Spontan diyafram rüptürü en nadir görülen torakoabdominal acillerdendir ve iç organ hasarı olmayan hastalara tanı koymak zordur. Tanı birkaç ay hatta yıllar boyunca gecikebilir. Şüpheci yaklaşım, iyi bir fizik muayene ve doğru yorumlanmış göğüs grafisi tanı koymada çok önemlidir. Biz bu yazıda acil servise 3 gündür geçmeyen mide ağrısı, bulantı, kusma ve hıçkırık şikayetleriyle başvuran ve spontan diyafram rüptürü tespit ettiğimiz hastayı sunmak istedik. Hasta torakotomi ile tedavi edildi ve defekt primer olarak onarıldı.

Anahtar Kelimeler: Spontan diyafram lezyonu, diyafram hernisi, radyolojik tanı, torakotomi
