Pericardio-diaphragmatic rupture after blunt trauma: a case report
Pericardio-diaphragmatic rupture with intrapericardial herniation is rare and often underdiagnosed because of nonspecific clinical features and subtle imaging findings. Median sternotomy should be considered when minimally invasive repair is not feasible, and combined thoracoabdominal evaluation is crucial for diagnosis and management.
