Abstract

ACEVEDO, José A et al. Gastric hernia incarcerated into the pericardio-peritoneal window: A rare complication. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2020, vol.112, n.2, pp.193-196. ISSN 2250-639X.

We report the case of a 73-year- old female patient with vomiting, aspiration pneumonia and constitutional symptoms. The imaging tests showed total gastric herniation in the pericardial sac through a pericardio-peritoneal window previously created. The case was solved with surgery. The therapeutic options for persistent pericardial effusion are considered. Intrapericardial gastric hernia as a complication, its clinical presentation, intraoperative findings, complementary tests and treatment are discussed.

Keywords : Gastric hernia; Pericardial peritoneal window; Complications.
