An intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia is a very rare congenital abnormality, with only a few cases reported in the English literature. The triad includes a massive pericardial effusion, bilateral pulmonary compression with or without pulmonary hypoplasia, and herniation of part of the liver into the pericardium. We report 2 cases of intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernias diagnosed prenatally in our obstetrics and gynecology unit.

Article Synopsis
- Diaphragmatic hernias, traditionally linked to birth defects or trauma, can also occur due to surgical procedures, as shown in a rare case involving a 59-year-old woman after pericardial window surgery.
- The patient experienced shortness of breath post-surgery, and imaging revealed an intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia, leading to an open surgery for repair.
- This case underscores the importance of recognizing and addressing rare complications like these postoperatively, highlighting the need for careful planning and intervention to prevent serious cardiac issues.

Thoracic hernias encompass the protrusion of thoracic contents through the thorax or intra-abdominal tissue into the thorax. They can be classified as diaphragmatic hernias - either congenital or acquired; pulmonary hernias - involving tissue protrusion through cervical fascia or intercostal spaces; and mediastinal hernias - including cardiac, intrapericardial and hiatal hernias. Prompt identification and classification of thoracic hernias rely on diagnostic imaging, primarily through computed tomography and magnetic resonance, to identify associated complications.

Primary mediastinal malignant germ cell tumours are rare, comprising only 1-4% of mediastinal tumours, of which 50-70% are non-seminomatous germ cell tumours. Non-seminomatous germ cell tumours typically demonstrate an excellent response to cisplatin-based chemotherapy. However, in some cases, tumours may persistently enlarge despite normal tumour markers following chemotherapy, leading to a rare condition known as growing teratoma syndrome.
