Abstract:
A 3.5-year-old girl sustained compression injury leading to isolated bilateral diaphragmatic rupture with extensive herniation of abdominal viscera into the pleuropericardial cavities. Reduction of the hernia and repair of the defects were readily accomplished through a thoraco-abdominal approach with excellent outcome.
