    Traumatic intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia often follows traffic accidents, presenting with cardiopulmonary or abdominal symptoms. An abdominal approach is preferred for acute cases to inspect the diaphragm and treat associated injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Trauma surgery
    • Thoracic surgery
    • Diagnostic imaging

    Background:

    • Traumatic intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia (TIPDH) is a rare but serious condition.
    • Most cases result from blunt force trauma, typically traffic accidents.
    • Prompt diagnosis and appropriate surgical management are crucial for patient outcomes.

    Observation:

    • A review of 58 literature cases and one delayed case of TIPDH was conducted.
    • Patients commonly presented with cardiopulmonary or abdominal symptoms post-trauma.
    • Associated skeletal lesions were predominantly on the left side.

    Findings:

    • Diagnostic imaging modalities including chest X-rays, contrast studies, CT scans, and echocardiography aided diagnosis.
    • Pneumoperitoneum was deemed an unreliable diagnostic procedure.

  • In acute TIPDH, an abdominal approach is favored over transthoracic approaches for comprehensive diaphragm inspection and management of concurrent abdominal injuries.

    • Implications:

    • The findings support an abdominal surgical approach for acute TIPDH to ensure complete diaphragmatic assessment and address associated intra-abdominal pathologies.
    • Avoiding left thoracotomy in the acute phase is recommended to prevent diagnostic and therapeutic errors.
    • This study contributes to understanding the optimal management strategy for traumatic diaphragmatic injuries.
