Abstract

A case of traumatic diaphragmatic herniation is described in which gross mediastinal shift was caused by a combination of the herniated abdominal organs, purulent exudate, and air. This complex presentation might best be described as a case of gastrocolopyopneumothorax, diagnosis of which was further complicated by the intermittent nature of the herniation.
