title: An unusual hernia: congenital pericardial effusion associated with liver herniation into the pericardial sac.
abstract: To our knowledge there have been only two previous cases of diaphragmatic hernia into the pericardium diagnosed antenatally. We describe our pre- and post-natal radiological findings in such a case, although the final diagnosis eluded us until after delivery.
