pleuroperitoneal
Pleuroperitoneal is a term denoting the pleural and peritoneal serous membranes or the cavities they line. It is divided from the pericardial cavity by the transverse septum.
Congenital defect or traumatic injury of pleuroperitoneal membrane can lead to diaphragmatic hernia. A congenital pleuroperitoneal hernia is called the Bochdalek hernia.{{Cite book |last=Whitaker |first=Robert H. |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/A_Visual_Guide_to_Clinical_Anatomy/AfH2DwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=Pleuroperitoneal+hernia&pg=PA163&printsec=frontcover |title=A Visual Guide to Clinical Anatomy |date=2020-08-11 |publisher=John Wiley & Sons |isbn=978-1-119-70816-2 |pages=163 |language=en}} This hernia is caused by an incomplete fusion of the septum transversum with the pleuroperitoneal membranes.{{Cite book |last=Gillaspie |first=Erin Alexis |url=https://www.google.com/books/edition/Surgical_Conditions_of_the_Diaphragm_An/xwsLEQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&pg=PA115&printsec=frontcover |title=Surgical Conditions of the Diaphragm, An Issue of Thoracic Surgery Clinics, E-Book: Surgical Conditions of the Diaphragm, An Issue of Thoracic Surgery Clinics, E-Book |date=2024-05-09 |publisher=Elsevier Health Sciences |isbn=978-0-443-12876-9 |pages=115 |language=en}}
