ABSTRACT
Rupture of the diaphragm and pericardium is an uncommon injury, most frequently caused by high velocity trauma. We present a rare case of right-sided pericardio-diaphragmatic rupture [PDR] with complete herniation of the liver which prevented the complete herniation of the heart. Diagnostic pitfalls and possible mistakes in the treatment strategy are discussed
