Abstract
Pericardial cysts are considered rare incidental findings, which are
generally asymptomatic in nature. Occasionally, patients may represent
with chest discomfort, dyspnea or palpitations. Pericarditis related to
a ruptured pericardial cyst has not been previously reported in the
literature. Here, we report the case of a 62-year-old male who developed
acute pericarditis as a result of a ruptured enlarging pericardial cyst.15 Apr 2020Submitted to Echocardiography 16 Apr 2020Submission Checks Completed
