Role of multi-slice computed tomography in the recognition of pericardial cyst
Cardiol J 2011;18(1):90-91.
Abstract
A pericardial cyst is, according to the definition, a collection of fluid or blood in the pericardial
space (inside the pericardial sac) around the heart. New visualization methods can help in the
non-invasive diagnosis of pericardial cysts. Based on a presented case, we conclude that multi-slice computed tomography can have a great impact on the detection of pericardium diseases
such as a pericardial cyst. (Cardiol J 2011; 18, 1: 90-91)
