Two-dimensional echocardiography and B-mode ultrasonography for the diagnosis of loculated pericardial effusion.
Two cases of loculated pericardial effusion resulting in cardiac tamponade are presented. The loculated nature and extent of the effusion was best defined by two-dimensional echocardiography or B- mode ultrasonography. Cross-sectional images should probably be obtained in all cases of suspected loculated pericardial effusion and in patients in whom the interpretation of the M-mode echocardiogra...
متن کاملIntrapericardial abnormalities in patients with pericardial effusion. Findings by two-dimensional echocardiography.
Ten patients with pericardial fluid who also had striking band-like intrapericardial echoes by two-dimensional ultrasonic sector scanning are reported. Four patients had prior mediastinal radiation and four patients had severe renal disease. One patient had purulent pericarditis and one patient had traumatic hemopericardium. The two-dimensional images permitted recognition of loculation of flui...
متن کاملPericardial Effusion and Pericardiocentesis: Role of Echocardiography
Pericardial effusion can develop from any pericardial disease, including pericarditis and several systemic disorders, such as malignancies, pulmonary tuberculosis, chronic renal failure, thyroid diseases, and autoimmune diseases. The causes of large pericardial effusion requiring invasive pericardiocentesis may vary according to the time, country, and hospital. Transthoracic echocardiography is...
متن کاملEchocardiography of cardiac valves in pericardial effusion.
Nine adult patients with large pericardial effusions (PE) demonstrated echocardiographic motion abnormalites of cardiac valves in systole. In four cases (Group 1), the abnormal findings consisted of prominent systolic anterior movements of the mitral valve resembling those seen in idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. In Group 2(five cases), typical mitral valve prolapse patterns with lar...
متن کاملEchocardiography monitoring for diazoxide induced pericardial effusion.
1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 3-year-old boy with Down’s syndrome with no underlying cardiac anomalies presented with hypoglycaemia due to congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI). He received treatment with oral diazoxide (Proglycem) (10 mg/kg/day), along with the diuretic chlorothiazide, which ensured glycaemic stability. However, a large pericardial effusion ( fi gure 1A ) requiring drainage was noted within...
