| description | In rare circumstances, a diaphragmatic defect may allow for herniation of intra-abdominal contents into the pericardial space.

We describe a 73-year-old female who presented with cardiac and abdominal symptoms one month after undergoing a subxiphoid pericardioperitoneal window for treatment and evaluation of a symptomatic pericardial effusion. |
