A one-day-old full-term female infant with massive "cardiomegaly" developed marked respiratory distress soon after birth. The two-dimensional (2D) echocardiogram demonstrated a 4 X 5-cm cystic mass adjacent to the left ventricular free wall. Computed tomography (CT) confirmed the presence and dimension of the cyst and CT number indicated the fluid within the cyst to be serous. A pericardial cyst was successfully removed at thoracotomy. Two-dimensional echocardiography and CT, both noninvasive procedures, are fully adequate tools in the diagnosis of pericardial cysts in the neonate, so that invasive investigations may be avoided.
一名出生一天的足月女婴，患有巨大“心脏肥大”，出生后不久即出现明显的呼吸窘迫。二维超声心动图显示左心室游离壁旁有一个4×5厘米的囊性肿块。计算机断层扫描（CT）证实了囊肿的存在及其大小，CT值表明囊肿内的液体为浆液性。经开胸手术成功切除了心包囊肿。二维超声心动图和CT这两种非侵入性检查方法，是诊断新生儿心包囊肿的充分工具，因此可避免进行侵入性检查。
