  • Title: [A case of post-traumatic intrapericardial hernia in a child].
    Author: Bellakhdar A, Abi F, Khalidi A, Fadil A, Sibai M, Bouzidi A.
    Journal: Chir Pediatr; 1988; 29(1):47-9. PubMed ID: 3396139.
    Abstract:
    Rupture of the diaphragm and pericardium after blunt abdominal injury is a rare and serious lesion. This rupture can produce a secondary subacute or chronic cardiac tamponade due to herniation of the abdominal contents into the pericardial cavity. Diagnosis is difficult and therefore rarely mode early. Surgical repair can be made by thoracotomy or laparotomy.
