A traumatic diaphragmatic hernia is a type of diaphragmatic hernia which is acquired through an abdominal injury. This is in contrast to a congenital diaphragmatic hernia, which is present from birth.
It can occur after splenectomy.[cite journal |author=Tsuboi K, Omura N, Kashiwagi H, Kawasaki N, Suzuki Y, Yanaga K |title=Delayed traumatic diaphragmatic hernia after open splenectomy: report of a case |journal=Surg. Today |volume=38 |issue=4 |pages=352–4 |year=2008 |pmid=18368327 |doi=10.1007/s00595-007-3627-0 |url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00595-007-3627-0] ]Because it can be indicative of severe trauma, it often co-presents with pelvic fracture.[cite journal |author=Meyers BF, McCabe CJ |title=Traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Occult marker of serious injury |journal=Ann. Surg. |volume=218 |issue=6 |pages=783–90 |year=1993 |month=December |pmid=8257229 |pmc=1243075 |doi= |url=] ]ee also
