A Rare Case of Iatrogenic Diaphragm Defect following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Presented as Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Figure 2

Abdomen and thorax CT scan. The findings confirmed the diagnosis of diaphragm traumatic herniation and the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome due to functional right pneumonectomy. Note that the right hemidiaphragm is absent and a large part of the small intestine is transported to the right side of the thoracic cavity.
