Cardiac tamponade caused by intrapericardial yolk sac tumor in a boy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yolk sac tumor rarely involves the pericardium. A 17-year-old boy had a mediastinal mass leading to total obstruction of the superior vena cava with cardiac tamponade and pleural effusion. Further imaging studies and biopsy showed that the origin was a yolk sac tumor. After surgery and adjuvant chemotherapy, no recurrence was noted during a follow-up of 20 months. This report describes the magnetic resonance imaging characteristics of pericardial yolk sac tumor.

متن کاملInfluences on the distribution of blood flow during cardiac tamponade in the conscious dog.
Cardiac tamponade is a spectrum ranging from pericardial effusions with minimal hemodynamic impairment to effusions causing circulatory collapse. In this study, we examined the roles played by the sympathetic nervous system and the renin-angiotensin system in controlling the distribution of blood flow in chronically instrumented conscious dogs during progressive cardiac tamponade. Fifty-one epi...
