  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Traumatic right diaphragmatic hernia is an extremely rare entity, given the protection afforded by the liver. Clinical Case: A 51-year-old women who suffered a road-traffic accident presented with a heavy sensation and several episodes of moderate pain in the left hemithorax. Physical and radiological exams revealed a traumatic right hernia. Discussion: The diagnosis of hernia should be established as quickly as possible to reduce morbidity and mortality. Treatment of the injury is always surgical and outcome is invariably positive. Conclusion: The diagnosis of diaphragmatic hernia should always be considered in patients suffering road-traffic accidents to allow early diagnosis and successful treatment.
