Diagnosis With Brief Discussion

Diagnosis
Pneumothorax in patient with diaphragmatic herniation
Radiologic Findings
Initial chest radiograph showed right pneumothorax and collapsed right lung (Fig. 1A). The Right pneumothorax resolved after placing the right chest tube (Fig. 1B). Incidentally, CT demonstrated the gas-distended colon loop around the proximal portion of the right chest tube (Fig. 2A, B). CT coronal image demonstrates focal discontinuation of the right diaphragm and herniation of the colon, omental fat, and liver. It revealed that the air densities around the herniated abdominal contents are in the thoracic cavity, not in the abdominal cavity (Fig. 3, 4).
