RESUMEN

Hay múltiples presentaciones de la hernia diafragmática postraumática, pero pocas veces se le ha descrito asociada a feconeumotórax iatrogénico; motiva esta publicación que se trate de una patología formidable capaz de evolucionar hasta una catástrofe. Presentamos el caso de un paciente que sufrió un accidente automovilístico, el cual produjo ruptura diafragmática izquierda complicándose, entre otros, con perforación iatrogénica del colon en la cavidad torácica y fascitis de la pared toracoabdominal, afecciones que se resolvieron satisfactoriamente.

PALABRAS CLAVE

Hernia diafragmática postraumática, iatrogenia, perforación intestinal, feconeumotórax, fascitis de pared toracoabdominal, terapia de presión negativa de heridas.
