Abstract
Abstracts: Cardiac herniation is rare. If it is untreated, lead to fatal complications of pneumonectomy. Symptoms are site related. It has sudden onset of hypotension, arrhythmia and cardiac arrest. Clinical suspicion with plain X- ray chest and ECG changes must lead to early diagnosis and require prompt surgical treatment. We present here one such case of cardiac herniation which was developed immediately after shifting the patient to recovery room, diagnosed, treated and saved the patient.
