Abstract EN
Effusive constrictive cholesterol pericarditis is exceedingly rare.
Most cases have an unclear etiology but can be associated with rheumatoid arthritis, tuberculosis infection, and hypothyroidism.
The hallmark of the effusion is the distinctively high levels of cholesterol.
We present the case of a 68-year-old male with prolonged symptoms of dyspnea with associated moderate pericardial effusion that were later determined to be constrictive effusive etiology, and the patient was referred for stripping with pathologic cholesterol crystal formation on pathology review.
