Intestinal tamponade: cardiac compression by intestinal contents.
Intrapericardial herniations represent a rare complication of abdominal or chest trauma. We describe clinical tamponade that developed in an elderly patient after manual reduction of an umbilical hernia. Echocardiography disclosed loops of bowel within the pericardium confirming the clinical diagnosis and leading to successful surgical repair.
