Abstract: Intrapericardial hernia is a diaphragmatic hernia that extremely rarely causes cardiac tamponade. We present a case of a cardiac tamponade caused by an intrapericardial hernia in a 78-year-old male patient with a history of coronary artery bypass grafting, mimicking ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, which was successfully treated by emergent laparotomy.<br />Competing Interests: The authors have reported that they have no relationships relevant to the contents of this paper to disclose.<br /> (© 2024 The Authors.)
