Abstract
- Porous diaphragm syndromes are characterized by the passages of substances such as fluids, blood and gases through diaphragmatic defect from the peritoneal cavity into the pleural space. Clinically, they usually present with pleural effusions, hemothorax, pneumothorax and even empyema, secondary to the abdominal pathology. This condition may give rise to respiratory and cardiovascular problems in peri-anesthetic period. We report a case of progressive hemothorax induced by postoperative abdominal bleeding leading to cardiac arrest in gynecologic patient with undiagnosed porous diaphragmatic syndrome.
