abstract="Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture with concomitant great vessel injuries is a catastrophic and life-threatening injury group that requires immediate identification and management. It can be both diagnostically and therapeutically very challenging. We report a case of combined traumatic diaphragmatic, aortic and innominate artery injuries, which was managed successfully. To have a fruitful outcome, management of this injury complex should preferably be staged depending on the hemodynamic stability of the patient. In a patient with traumatic diaphragmatic injuries, one should also have a high index of suspicion of associated great vessel injuries.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
