Case Report (n=2)
Congenital absence of the pericardium is a rare condition that can cause right ventricular dilatation and levoposition of the heart, requiring awareness for diagnosis.
İlhan et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Congenital absence of the left pericardium (n=2). Congenital absence of the left pericardium was evaluated. Congenital absence of the left pericardium is a rare cardiac defect that can lead to right ventricular dilatation and levoposition of the heart, as demonstrated in two patient cases.
