“…In a review of 82 cases of peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia due to trauma, 37 patients (48%) were diagnosed immediately during the acute phase, and 37 patients (48%) had delayed diagnosis with the interval being 23 days to 23 years after trauma (2). This illustrates the importance of close observation in a patient status post blunt abdominal trauma.…”

“…Diaphragmatic hernia secondary to blunt trauma could present early in the course of the injury or have delayed presentation. Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia arising from penetrating injury has also been described, but is less common (2). Iatrogenic causes of peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia have been described following various surgical procedures within both the thoracic and abdominal cavity (3).…”

Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia is a rare entity involving herniation of abdominal viscera through the diaphragm into the pericardial sac. It is most often seen after blunt abdominal trauma, but can occur following any trans-diaphragmatic intervention. We report on a 56-year-old female with peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia secondary to a convergent procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, who underwent a laparoscopic repair. An anterior abdominal wall laparoscopic approach was employed. Transverse colon and greater omentum were within the hernia sac. The defect measuring 3 cm × 3 cm was repaired using a composite hernia mesh. The total operative time was 78 minutes. No intra-operative and no post-operative complications were observed. Patient remained asymptomatic at a 6-month follow-up.Laparoscopic mesh repair of peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia is safe, feasible and is the procedure of choice for treating these complex hernias.

“…This subsequently results in symptoms related with circulatory problems or obstruction of the herniated organs, or dyspnea, cyanosis or cardiac compromise due to compression of the hernia. [13] Furthermore, herniations may not become symptomatic until months or years after the trauma. [14,15] Once detected, treatment is not complex.…”
