Abstract

Pericardial effusions are associated with various etiology, with treatment varying from careful monitoring to pericardiocentesis, particularly in those symptomatic or reaching cardiac tamponade. Pericardial effusion in pregnancy poses a different challenge as treatment decisions can influence both mother and fetus. We reported a case of large hydropericardium with impending cardiac tamponade successfully treated with an emergency cesarian section without urgent pericardiocentesis.
