Abstract

Purulent pericarditis usually presents as an acute illness with diffuse involvement of the whole pericardium, but can rarely present as a localized effusion. Here, we present a patient with a pericardial abscess caused by Staphylococcus aureus. After surgical drainage of the abscess, the patient made a good recovery. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of a pericardial abscess presenting as a localized bulge of the heart contour on the chest X-ray.

摘要

化脓性心包炎通常表现为一种累及整个心包的急性疾病，但很少表现为局限性积液。在此，我们报告一例由金黄色葡萄球菌引起的心包脓肿患者。脓肿经手术引流后，患者恢复良好。据我们所知，这是首例心包脓肿在胸部X线片上表现为心脏轮廓局限性隆起的病例。
