  • Title: [Copious pericardial and pleural effusion of hypothyroid origin. Report of a case and review of the literature].
    Author: Ghannad E, Deutsch D, Papouin G.
    Journal: Ann Cardiol Angeiol (Paris); 1986 May; 35(5):275-7. PubMed ID: 3752888.
    Abstract:
    The authors report the case of a female of 57 years presenting hypothyroidism with pericardial tamponade followed by development of copious pleural extravasation. The present observation and those reported in the literature are used to evoke the characteristics of copious pericardial and pleural extravasation during hypothyroidism. The authors emphasize the importance of cardiac echography during myxedema. A few exceptional observations aside, extravasation is reduced by supplementary hormone therapy.
