Bilateral rupture of diaphragm with delayed strangulation

A 64-year-old woman presented in shock. The computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed rupture of the left diaphragm with strangulation. Three days after surgery, the patient developed herniation of abdominal contents on the right side with cardiorespiratory collapse. Marlex mesh was used to repair on the right side. Postoperatively, she needed partial gastrectomy for massive duodenal ulcer bleeding. A dual chamber pacemaker was used to correct the complete heart block.
