    Abstract:
    Delayed post-traumatic pericardial effusion is a rare condition after blunt trauma. The diagnosis of the effusion can be made by the clinical signs, which is not very specific and the cardiac echography. The etiological diagnosis remains difficult because it requires the elimination of the other causes of pericarditis. Their treatment consists in evacuating the pericardial effusion. The evolution thereafter is simple. We report four cases of patients with pericardial effusion late after a thoracic injury. Imaging the blood test, the examination of the pericardial fluid and the anatomopathological examination of the pericardium, eliminates the other etiologies.
