Abstract

Pericardial cysts are rare congenital anomalies, often clinically silent and incidentally found on imaging. However, patients with pericardial cysts may present with chest pain, tachypnea, and, rarely, symptoms secondary to cardiac tamponade. Echocardiography (transthoracic or transesophageal) and chest computed tomography (CT) scan with contrast are diagnostic modalities of choice in patients with pericardial cysts. Conservative management is justified in asymptomatic patients, while a surgical approach is recommended in symptomatic patients. Here, we describe the case of a 12-year-old boy who underwent imaging during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and was incidentally found to have a pericardial cyst. © 2023
