  • Title: Tension pneumothorax secondary to a gastropleural fistula in a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia.
    Author: Schwab RJ, Jarvik JG.
    Journal: Chest; 1991 Jan; 99(1):247-9. PubMed ID: 1984967.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of tension pneumothorax due to a gastropleural fistula resulting from perforation of the stomach in a traumatic diaphragmatic hernia. Awareness of perforation of strangulated stomach or bowel in a diaphragmatic hernia as a cause of pneumothorax, with or without tension physiology, in a patient with a history of trauma is important so that surgical repair can be undertaken without delay.
