A 51-year-old man presented as an emergency with acute intestinal obstruction following herniation of abdominal contents into the left hemithorax through a spontaneous rupture of his eventrated left hemidiaphragm. He underwent a left thoracotomy with reduction of the herniated abdominal contents, repair of the diaphragmatic rupture and plication of the diaphragm. He made an uneventful recovery and remains asymptomatic. This is the first reported case of spontaneous rupture of an eventration of the diaphragm.
