Trauma can cause constrictive pericarditis, but rarely a localized mass. This case highlights a pericardial mass impinging on the right heart, leading to severe venous stasis.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Constrictive pericarditis is a known complication of trauma.
  • Localized pericardial masses are an uncommon sequela of traumatic injury.

Observation:

  • A case of a patient presenting with a localized pericardial mass is described.
  • The mass was identified as a consequence of prior trauma.

Findings:

  • The pericardial mass caused significant impingement on the right side of the heart.
  • This mechanical effect resulted in severe systemic venous stasis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the spectrum of traumatic pericardial disease.
  • Highlights the importance of considering traumatic etiology for pericardial masses causing cardiac compromise.
