Abstract:
This is the case of a 22-year-old female with celiac disease-induced pericardial effusion. Celiac disease is a gastroenterological autoimmune condition that affects several organ systems. It is a disease found in both children and adults. As many systems are involved, this case presented with a unique presentation: pericardial effusion with symptoms overlapping those of cardiac chest pain such as substernal chest pain and shortness of breath. The patient had tachycardia, tachypnea, and jugular venous distention with distant S1 and S2 heart sounds. Cardiothoracic surgery was consulted and diagnosed the patient with pericardial effusion.
