Large childhood symptomatic pericardial effusion demanding pericardio-centesis and pericardial drainage is rare and symptomatic childhood uremic pericardial effusion is even rarer. The aim of this paper is to report the rare occurrence of childhood uremic symptomatic pericardial effusion. A seven year old boy with the most extreme form of end-stage renal disease (anuric with no renal function).
