Résumé
Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is uncommon in blunt or penetrating abdominal trauma. Diaphragmatic injury associated with pericardial tear is even rarer. Here, we report a case of a 23-year-old female who presented with complaints of chest pain, abdomen pain, and breathlessness following blunt trauma abdomen. An imaging study showed the presence of transdiaphragmatic herniation of the stomach inside the thorax. Emergency exploratory laparotomy was done, and we found a large diaphragmatic defect with a pericardial tear with herniation of the stomach. Both diaphragmatic and pericardial tears were repaired primarily. Postoperatively, the patient improved well without any complications.
