2. Figure 1
“Collar” sign. Coronal contrast-enhanced computed tomography image in a 37-year-old male post motor vehicle collision demonstrates constriction of the herniated stomach (S) as it passes through a left hemidiaphragmatic defect (arrows).

3. Figure 2
“Dependent viscera” sign. Axial (A) and sagittal (B) contrast-enhanced computed tomography images in a 95-year-old male with left traumatic diaphragmatic rupture post-MVC demonstrates loss of the expected interposed lung between the stomach (S) and the posterior chest wall (arrows).

4. Figure 3
“Hump and band” sign. Coronal contrast-enhanced computed tomography image in a 22-year-old male post-MVC with right traumatic diaphragmatic rupture demonstrates liver (L) herniating through a diaphragmatic defect (arrows) with a slight band of hypoattenuation at the constriction site that may be secondary to compression.

5. Figure 4
Missed focal diaphragmatic defects. Coronal contrast-enhanced computed tomography images (A and B) in a 25-year-old male who had been stabbed multiple times in the left chest demonstrate 2 tiny focal diaphragmatic defects (arrows) which were not detected prospectively.

6. Figure 5
Missed focal diaphragmatic defect. Axial contrast-enhanced computed tomography image in a 22-year-old male who had been stabbed in the left chest demonstrates a small focal diaphragmatic defect which was not detected prospectively (arrow).

7. Figure 6
Herniation of the liver (L) through a presumed defect of the right hemidiaphragm (arrows) is subtle in the coronal plane (A) but more conspicuous in the sagittal plane (B) in a 46-year-old female after an MVC. The diagnosis of TDR was made prospectively.

8. Figure 7
Coronal contrast-enhanced computed tomography image (A) in a 34-year-old male post-MVC demonstrates a left diaphragmatic defect (arrows) with herniation of fat which was not detected prospectively. The patient was reimaged 10 days later due to respiratory distress. A coronal image from a repeat contrast-enhanced computed tomography (B) demonstrates a larger diaphragmatic defect (arrows) with herniation of stomach (S) and colon (C) into the chest.
