Constrictive pericarditis is caused by fibrosis and calcification of the pericardium, which inhibits diastolic filling of the heart. Chest roentgenogram can show the calcification as a mass or sheet over the heart and computed tomography scan allows anatomic delineation of the pericardium and determines the extent of calcification. We reported a case of eggshell calcification of idiopathic chronic constrictive pericarditis diagnosed by echocardiography and multi-detector computed tomography.
缩窄性心包炎是由心包的纤维化和钙化引起的,这会抑制心脏的舒张期充盈。胸部X线片可显示心脏上方的钙化呈肿块或片状,计算机断层扫描可对心包进行解剖学描绘并确定钙化范围。我们报告了一例通过超声心动图和多排计算机断层扫描诊断为特发性慢性缩窄性心包炎蛋壳样钙化的病例。
