Because of its potential for life-threatening cardiac tamponade, tuberculous pericarditis is significant clinically, especially in areas with a high prevalence of tuberculosis. Ultrasonography is a sensitive diagnostic instrument that can be used to detect intrapericardial abnormalities. We report a case of a 42- year-old man who presented with dyspnea caused by a massive pleuropericardial effusion. Tuberculous pleuropericardial effusion was diagnosed by pleural biopsy and subsequent culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from the pericardial fluid. Two-dimensional echocardiography showed pericardial thickening with frond-like structures protruding into the pericardial cavity. These frond-like structures disappeared from the ultrasonographic pictures one month after antituberculous therapy was initiated. It is concluded that frond-like structures and pericardial thickening seen on ultrasound may be characteristic in patients with tuberculous pericarditis and indicate early institution of antituberculous therapy. |
