Abstract

An unusual case of intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia is presented. Cardiac tamponade occurred in the operating room soon after induction of anaesthesia. Surgical removal of the herniated omentum and stomach allowed haemodynamic improvement. The pathophysiology is discussed and patients with cardiac tamponade reviewed. © 1994 British Journal of Anaesthesia.
