2019, International Journal of Surgery Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Like tension pneumothorax, gastrothorax causes worsening mediastinal and contralateral lung compression, which can culminate in cardiac arrest. This pathology was first described by Ordog et al. in 1984, in a case of traumatic rupture of the diaphragm [5]. Five steps are necessary to develop a tension gastrothorax: (1) existence of a diaphragmatic defect, (2) increased intra-abdominal pressure, (3) prolapse of the stomach into the thorax, (4) a functional change in the gastro-esophageal junction (by way of an abnormal angulation) and (5) a reduction in cardiac output as a result of mediastinal shift [6,7].
A survival case of tension gastrothorax due to hiatal hernia, the key of life-saving is thoracotomy

2015, Legal MedicineCitation Excerpt :In these cases, the flow of materials is obstructed and intragastric air is trapped due to torsion, resulting in a massive expansion of the stomach in the thoracic cavity. Tension gastrothorax is a life-threatening complication of CDH or traumatic diaphragmatic rupture that is caused by a one-way expansion of the stomach into the thoracic cavity [10–12]. Tension gastrothorax can compress the ipsilateral pulmonary parenchyma and the mediastinum to the opposite hemithorax causing respiratory distress and obstruction of venous return to the heart.
