Case Report

Traumatic Lung Herniation

Gary S. Allen, MD, Ronald P. Fischer, MD, PhD

Department of Surgery, University of Texas Health Science Center, Houston, Texas

Accepted for publication November 20, 1996.

Traumatic lung herniation is a poorly described entity. An important factor in the etiology of these lesions is the relative lack of muscular support afforded by the anterior thorax. We report a case of blunt thoracic trauma complicated by an incarcerated lung herniation.
