Abstract
|
|
|
Pneumopericardium is defined as the condition of presence of air in the pericardial space. It is associated with various
etiologies such as chest trauma, infection or invasive procedures. We herein describe a case of cardiac tamponade associated with pneumopericardium. We diagnosed iatrogenic pneumopericardium by plain chest radiography and two-dimensional echocardiography. The patient was successfully treated by re-pericardiocentesis.
