Pericardial cysts are rare, often congenital and asymptomatic. A post-traumatic, atypically located pericardial cyst was successfully managed conservatively, suggesting this approach for uncomplicated cases.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Pericardial cysts are uncommon, typically congenital, and located in cardiophrenic angles.
  • While often asymptomatic with a benign prognosis, complications necessitate interventions like aspiration or surgical resection.
  • Standard treatment approaches include percutaneous aspiration or surgical resection via thoracotomy or thoracoscopy.

Observation:

  • A rare case of a left upper paramediastinal cyst is presented.
  • This cyst was atypical due to its location and non-congenital, post-traumatic origin.
  • Diagnosis was established using advanced imaging techniques.

Findings:

  • The post-traumatic pericardial cyst exhibited favorable evolution under conservative management.

  • Imaging techniques were crucial in diagnosing this atypically located lesion.
  • Conservative management proved effective for this specific case.

    • Implications:

    • Conservative management is a viable option for asymptomatic and uncomplicated pericardial cysts.
    • Atypical locations and origins (e.g., post-traumatic) should be considered in pericardial cyst diagnosis and management.
    • This case highlights the potential for less invasive strategies in managing certain pericardial cysts.
