چکیده

introduction the term hydropneumopericardium describes the simultaneous accumulation of fluid and gas in the pericardial sac. this condition is mostly caused by primary infiltrative lesions from the adjacent organs, pericardial infections, or trauma and is a very rare situation, usually with favorable outcomes. case presentation we describe a female patient with lutembacher’s syndrome complicated by cardiac tamponade. after surgical treatment, she developed iatrogenic hydropneumopericardium, which was treated conservatively. conclusions iatrogenic hydropneumopericardium can be managed conservatively with supportive measures, and most of these cases resolve spontaneously if they are not large and destabilizing.

European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) position paper: Multimodality imaging in pericardial disease.

Although pericardial diseases are common in the daily clinical practice and can result in a significant morbidity and mortality, imaging of patients with suspected or known pericardial disorders remain challenging. Multimodality imaging is part of the management of pericardial diseases. Echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography, and cardiovascular magnetic resonance are often used as comple...

Multimodality imaging in amyloidosis

Amyloidosis comprises a rare spectrum of protein deposition diseases that diffusely or focally affect any organ. Amyloid's variable clinical presentation and nonspecific disease course often cause it to evade early diagnosis. This pictorial essay aims to familiarize radiologists with the pathophysiology of amyloidosis, to describe the basic classifications of amyloidosis, and to use multimodali...
