Plain films of the chest may show a radiopaque area and occasionally an air-fluid level if hollow viscera have herniated. If the stomach has entered the chest, the abnormal path of a nasogastric tube may be diagnostic. The collar sign is seen when abdominal contents are seen in the thorax with/without focal constriction. Elevation and distortion of the hemi diaphragm are corroborative signs.
