The incidence of the isolated form of partial absence of the pericardium is a rare finding. The authors present a case of an isolated left sided pericardial defect with intrathoracic protrusion of the left atrial appendage found during a left upper lobectomy for lung cancer, unrecognized after serial echocardiographs and computed tomography scan of the thorax. The patient suffered from episodes of atrial fibrillation which disappeared after pericardial defect repair without antiarrhythmic medication.
孤立性部分心包缺如的发生率较为罕见。作者报告了 1 例左心耳突入胸腔的孤立性左侧心包缺损病例，该病例在因肺癌行左上肺叶切除术时发现，但在一系列超声心动图和胸部计算机断层扫描后未被识别。该患者曾发作心房颤动，在心包缺损修补后无需抗心律失常药物治疗即消失。
