Abstract:
A 30-year-old woman consulted for a predominantly right-sided global heart failure chart that had been evolving for about 3 months. Its antecedents include a concept of poorly treated pleuropulmonary tuberculosis at the age of 8 years. Lateral chest X-ray, transthoracic echocardiography and thoracic CT showed ventricular ring calcification with mid-ventricular compression with apical ballooning. The diagnosis of chronic mid-ventricular constrictive pericarditis of tuberculosis etiology was retained. The patient was put on diuretic treatment and the immediate evolution is favorable with a regression of the signs of congestion. Surgical decortication has been indicated.
