Pericardial cysts are a rare disorder with an incidence of about 1 in 100,000, the majority of which are benign and incidentally identified. Pericardial cyst causing cardiac tamponade is an extremely rare phenomenon. The exact incidence of cardiac tamponade secondary to pericardial cyst is unknown. To the best of our knowledge limited case reports showing this association have been published. We have summarized cases showing this association in a tabular fashion. We present a case of a 36-year-old male who presented with symptoms of shortness of breath, chest pain, and fevers found to have ruptured pericardial cyst causing cardiac tamponade. < The majority of pericardial cysts are diagnosed incidentally and have benign course. Pericardial cyst causing cardiac tamponade is an extremely rare phenomenon. Ruptured pericardial cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac tamponade in patients with history of pericardial cyst. Interventions such as immediate pericardiocentesis, sternotomy, and surgical resection of cyst can be life-saving.>.
心包囊肿是一种罕见疾病，发病率约为十万分之一，其中大多数为良性且多为偶然发现。心包囊肿导致心脏压塞是一种极其罕见的现象。继发于心包囊肿的心脏压塞的确切发病率尚不清楚。据我们所知，仅有有限的病例报告发表过显示这种关联。我们以表格形式总结了显示这种关联的病例。我们报告一例36岁男性，出现呼吸急促、胸痛和发热症状，发现是破裂的心包囊肿导致心脏压塞。<大多数心包囊肿是偶然诊断出来的，病程呈良性。心包囊肿导致心脏压塞是一种极其罕见的现象。对于有心包囊肿病史的心脏压塞患者，鉴别诊断时应考虑破裂的心包囊肿。诸如立即心包穿刺、胸骨切开术和囊肿手术切除等干预措施可能挽救生命。>
