Key result
Pericardiocentesis successfully resolves massive pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade from autoimmune thyroiditis.
Why the study?
Cardiac tamponade is an unusual manifestation in autoimmune thyroiditis requiring clinical recognition and management.
Case Report (n=1)
Highlights an unusual presentation of cardiac tamponade secondary to autoimmune thyroiditis in a young female patient.
May prompt thyroid evaluation in young women with tamponade; leaves open incidence and management implications.

Kanneganti et al. (2023) conducted a case report in Cardiac Tamponade in Autoimmune Thyroiditis (n=1). Therapeutic pericardiocentesis was evaluated. A 24-year-old female with autoimmune thyroiditis presented with massive pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, which was managed with therapeutic pericardiocentesis.
