✦ Synopsis

information of a patient in whom the hepatic flexure herniated through a right open pneumothorax which occurred as a result of a wound.

4. The most unusual feature of this case is the fact that the right kidney and the perinephric fat migrated upwards into the chest, and although Harrington (1938) says that this may occur in some cases with a congenital deficiency of the posterolateral part of the diaphragm, I have not found it described as a result of trauma on the right side.
