  • Title: Gastric rupture associated with diaphragmatic hernia during pregnancy.
    Author: Luu TD, Reddy VS, Miller DL, Force SD.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2006 Nov; 82(5):1908-10. PubMed ID: 17062278.
    Abstract:
    Diaphragmatic hernia complicating pregnancy rarely occurs, but it is frequently misdiagnosed. A strangulated diaphragmatic hernia in a pregnant patient presents a true surgical emergency, and delay in operative intervention can result in fetal and maternal mortality in as many as 50% of cases. We describe a case report of a pregnant patient and her fetus surviving after a spontaneous gastric rupture from a strangulated diaphragmatic hernia.
