AbstractThe case described in this article shows an almost typical course with blunt abdominal trauma that occurred a long time ago, a primarily recognized but not surgically treated rupture of the diaphragm on the right side, and subsequently developing intestinal signs with recidivating attacks of jaundice caused by displacement of the liver with kinking of the bile duct. The relatively rare late complication of a right-sided enterothorax with ileus makes this a remarkable case and underlines once again the need for immediate or at least early surgery to avoid late complications.
