The finding of a pericardial hematoma is rare in the pediatric population. Its occurrence in an otherwise healthy 3-month-old infant is unprecedented in the literature. The hematoma was initially identified by echocardiography. Computerized tomography and magnetic resonance imaging did not contribute to the identification of the mass. An exploratory thoracotomy was necessary to rule out a neoplastic process. The final diagnosis of hemorrhagic pericarditis was made.
心包血肿在儿科人群中较为罕见。在一名原本健康的3个月大婴儿中出现这种情况在文献中尚无先例。该血肿最初通过超声心动图发现。计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像对肿块的识别并无帮助。有必要进行开胸探查以排除肿瘤性病变。最终诊断为出血性心包炎。
