Introduction And Importance: Traumatic diaphragmatic ruptures following blast injury or penetrating trauma rarely present themselves with chronic symptoms warranting elective surgery.
Case Presentation: We present the case of a 49-year-old man who survived a grenade explosion and experienced chronic chest pain. Considering the previous trauma, computed tomography imaging was performed and showed a left-sided traumatic diaphragmatic rupture ventral to the spleen, resulting in herniation of the transverse colon and omentum in the thoracic cavity.
