چکیده
A 75-year-old Korean man was referred to our hospital with cramping abdominal pain. His chest X-ray showed an abnormal air shadow above the diaphragm, and computed tomography showed an abdominal viscera in the pericardium.

Peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia is very rare in humans, so we report the case with a literature review.
