Cardiac MR aids detection of asymptomatic congenital pericardial absence; leaves open questions on screening and long-term outcomes.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights the role of cardiac-MR imaging in diagnosing congenital complete absence of the left pericardium, a rare condition that is often asymptomatic.
Flintoaca et al. (2016) conducted a case report in Congenital complete absence of the left pericardium (n=1). Congenital absence of the pericardium was evaluated. Complete absence of the left pericardium was diagnosed in an asymptomatic young male patient, highlighting the role of cardiac-MR imaging in identifying characteristic cardiac silhouette abnormalities.
