Pericardial rupture may occur in two distinct anatomical sites, namely the diaphragmatic pericardium and the pleuropericardium. They may be combined. The problems in each type are different.

We present the case of a 36-year-old man who was referred to our hospital from another institution for cardiac MRI study with echocardiographic suspicion of constrictive peric...

In the first the rupture is intrapleural and air escapes into the pleural space; insertion of a chest drain leads to a continuous air leak. In the second type th...

We describe a case of a 59-year-old man who suffered from an isolated pericardial rupture with a left-sided haematothorax diagnosed 3 months after minimal blunt chest trauma. The patient was...
