Fractured Ribs and the CT Funky Fat Sign of Diaphragmatic Rupture

Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture remains a diagnostic challenge for both radiologists and surgeons.

description Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture remains a diagnostic challenge for both radiologists and surgeons. In recent years, multidetector CT has markedly improved the diagnosis of diaphragmatic injury in polytrauma patients. Herein, we describe two cases of subacute presentation of traumatic diaphragmatic rupture from a penetrating rib fracture and subsequent intrathoracic herniation of omental fat, representing the CT “funky fat” sign.
