  • Title: Symptomatic pericardial cyst: a case series.
    Author: Najib MQ, Chaliki HP, Raizada A, Ganji JL, Panse PM, Click RL.
    Journal: Eur J Echocardiogr; 2011 Nov; 12(11):E43. PubMed ID: 21900299.
    Abstract:
    Pericardial cysts are most commonly located at the cardiophrenic angle or, rarely, in the posterior or anterior superior mediastinum. The majority of pericardial cysts are asymptomatic and are found incidentally. Symptomatic pericardial cysts present with dyspnoea, chest pain, or persistent cough. We describe four patients with symptomatic pericardial cysts who were treated with either echocardiographically guided percutaneous aspiration or video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery, or both; thoracotomy; or conservative therapy.
