Cardiac tamponade following penetrating thoracic trauma: unusual evolution. 1985

N Jaspar, and M L Druart, and M Renard, and J L Vandenbossche, and P Vanderhoeft

We report a case of cardiac tamponade following a penetrating wound of the heart treated surgically. The patient developed later on a pericarditis of the immunologic type complicated by new tamponade. The clinical situation was only relieved by corticotherapy.

D010490 Pericardial Effusion Fluid accumulation within the PERICARDIUM. Serous effusions are associated with pericardial diseases. Hemopericardium is associated with trauma. Lipid-containing effusion (chylopericardium) results from leakage of THORACIC DUCT. Severe cases can lead to CARDIAC TAMPONADE.

D010493 Pericarditis Inflammation of the PERICARDIUM from various origins, such as infection, neoplasm, autoimmune process, injuries, or drug-induced. Pericarditis usually leads to PERICARDIAL EFFUSION, or CONSTRICTIVE PERICARDITIS. Pleuropericarditis
D002305 Cardiac Tamponade Compression of the heart by accumulated fluid (PERICARDIAL EFFUSION) or blood (HEMOPERICARDIUM) in the PERICARDIUM surrounding the heart.
