[Congenital intrapericardial diaphragmatic hernia associated with an omphalocele in a newborn infant].

The authors present a case of congenital intraperichardic diaphragmatic hernia and omphalocele, diagnosed on post birth day 11. The patient underwent an emergency procedure with evidenced an abdomino-perichardic hernia with perichardic sca due to the presence of a "breach gap" in the central-anterior region of the diaphragm. This rare malformation could be related to a development anomaly of the septum trasversum.
