Intrapericardial herniation is rare; 40 cases have been reported. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case resulting from a recently developed surgical procedure: the pericardial and peritoneal window technique. Diagnostic modalities included plain films, barium studies, and a computed tomography scan.
