Title : Effusive constrictive pericarditis due to tuberculosis, with fleeting LV thrombus

Abstract:

A rare disorder known as effusive constrictive pericarditis is caused by fluid buildup inside a stiff, non-compliant pericardium. Leg edema, ascites, and hypotension are of effusive constrictive pericarditis, a combination of tamponade and constriction. The quick development of acute pericarditis results in pericardial sac inflammation and frequent pericardial effusion. The myocardium of the epicardium may become inflamed. Both infectious and non-infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, can cause pericarditis. One complication  of ECP brought on by Mycobacterium tuberculosis is effusiye constrictive pericard‘itis related to tuberculosis. Although less frequent, tuberculosis pericard‘rtis is a significant cause of pericarditis in patients with compromised immune systems. Diagnosis is frequently challenging and takes time. Clinically, the mast common manifestation is pericardial effusion. Delayed diagnosis can lead to constrictive pericarditis with limited treatment options. It has three clinical stages: effusive, effusive constrictive, and constrictive. A blood clot (thrombus) in the left ventricle of the heart is known ae a leh ventricular thrombus. The clot is usually a mural thrombua, which means it is located on the ventricle.
