Late Diaphragmatic Hernia Secondary to Pericardial Window Subxyphoid: Case Report and Review of the Literarue
Main Article Content
Abstract
A diaphragmatic hernia can have a congenital origin, thoracic trauma and iatrogenic invasive procedures where intra-abdominal pressure is increased. One of the most frequent procedures that have been related to the presence of this pathology are pericardial peritoneal windows performed to treat symptomatic pericardial effusions. There are few published cases of intra-abdominal complications such as incarcerated diaphragmatic hernia.
We report the case of a patient presenting with large bowel occlusion due to diaphragmatic hernia. The objective is to highlight this rare complication in order to encourage the physician who encounters this situation to consider the diagnostic possibility and one of the therapeutic options for its correction.
