“…Surprisingly, haemodynamic conditions were preserved in the five right cardiac herniations discussed in Clark et al's article [4]. However, in our review of the literature we found four additional right traumatic cardiac herniations [5,11,12,13] and none of them were haemodynamically well tolerated. Only 2 of 32 cases that we reviewed had a stable haemodynamic status.…”

Blunt traumatic rupture of the pericardium with cardiac herniation: two cases diagnosed using computed tomography

et al. 2001

Traumatic ruptures of the pericardium with cardiac herniation are infrequent, and their radiological pattern little familiar, so that they are often missed preoperatively. Few reports have emphasised the use of a CT scan as a tool for diagnosis and CT scan signs have not been well documented. We report on two cases of traumatic herniation of the heart for which a CT scan brought a major contribution for diagnosis. We describe the presence of an empty pericardial sac on CT slices which allowed us to diagnose the cardiac herniation. These observations demonstrate that CT scans can contribute to the diagnosis of pericardial rupture with cardiac herniation.
