  • Title: A rare complication of a rare disease: Pericarditis due to ruptured pericardial cyst.
    Author: Lak H, Shah R, Verma BR, Xu B.
    Journal: Echocardiography; 2020 Aug; 37(8):1300-1303. PubMed ID: 32648315.
    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 man who developed acute pericarditis as a result of a ruptured enlarging pericardial cyst.
