Large Pericardial Effusion

Pericardial effusion is not so uncommon in hypothyroidism, but pericardial tamponade is very rare entity. Hypothyroidism complicated by pericardial tamponade is very rarely referenced in the medical literature. Here we report a rare case of a 70 year old female, who presented with breathlessness and was found to have hypothyroidism with large pericardial effusion complicating into pericardial tamponade. Management included urgent pericardiocentesis followed by l-thyroxine supplementation.

Atrial Tumor

A rare case of right atrial angiosarcoma is described in a 55-year-old man who was admitted with acute chest pain. Electrocardiography, cardiac enzymes, and chest radiography were negative. His pain settled and he was discharged, but readmitted 15 days later with clinical features of cardiac tamponade. Computed tomography demonstrated a large pericardial effusion. Emergency surgery was performed to excise a right atrial tumor, which histology confirmed to be an angiosarcoma.

The association between large pericardial effusion and restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is uncommon and has seldom been described. We describe an uncommon case of a 31-year-old male with RCM who presented with large, recurrent pericardial effusion, heart failure, and echocardiographic findings showing progressive worsening of diastolic function even after total pericardiectomy who was eventually transferred for cardiac transplant evaluation.

Parasitic infections are the leading cause of hypereosinophilia in the paediatric population in tropical countries. We report an unusual case of Toxocara infection in an eight-year-old boy who presented with intermittent fever, hypereosinophilia complicated by massive pericardial effusion and a mycotic aneurysm. This child received treatment with four weeks of albendazole and steroids.

Systemic lymphangiomatosis is a rare disease characterized by the exageration of lymphatic channel proliferation, occurring in children and young adults. We describe an extremely rare case of congenital systemic lymphangiomatosis in a newborn who had ascitis and respiratory failure develop immediately after delivery. Death occurred during the first hour of life. Autopsy findings showed numerous cysts in soft tissues of the cervical area, mediastinum and diaphragm, and several other organs including the liver, spleen, thyroid and kidneys. The severe and diffuse involvement with cysts in both lungs by lymphangiomatosis was associated with poor prognosis and death in our case.
