    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Traumatic diaphragmatic rupture is a rare but potentially life-threatening injury.
    • Intrapericardial rupture of the diaphragm is exceptionally uncommon, with few reported cases.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial for patient survival.

    Observation:

    • A 72-year-old patient presented with a traumatic intrapericardial diaphragmatic rupture.
    • The case involved evaluation and treatment of the diaphragmatic lesion and associated pathologies in the acute phase.
    • Detailed pathophysiology and a comprehensive literature review were conducted.

    Findings:

    • The study presents a single case of traumatic intrapericardial diaphragmatic rupture.
    • A review of existing literature identified only 29 previously reported cases.
    • The acute phase management and treatment strategies for this rare injury are discussed.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering rare diagnoses in trauma patients.
    • Understanding the pathophysiology aids in surgical planning and treatment.
    • Further case reports may improve understanding and management protocols for this rare condition.
