Abstract EN
Presentation of pericardial disease is diverse, with the viral aetiology being the most common cause; however, when haemorrhagic pericardial effusion is present, these causes are narrowed to few aetiologies.
We present a case of a young female of African descent who presented with diffuse abdominal pain and vomiting.
Initial work-up showed pericardial effusion with impending echocardiographic findings of cardiac tamponade and bilateral pleural effusions.
Procedures included a left video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) with pericardial window.
We consider that it is important for all physicians to be aware of not only typical presentation but also atypical and unusual clinical picture of pericardial disease.
