Congenital Complete Absence of the Left Pericardium: A Rare Cause of Chest Pain or Pseudo‐right Heart Overload

Abstract: Congenital absence of the left pericardium should be known by clinicians as a possible differential diagnosis of chest pain or pseudo-right heart overload.

“…4 A number of case reports also described patients who presented with left-sided chest pain of varying quality, Figure 1: Admission chest X-ray such as stabbing, throbbing, postural, or exertional. 3,5 In other case reports, patients have reported the sensation of a "shifting heart". Since the pericardium provides structural support for the heart, its complete or partial absence allows the cardiac apex to move posteriorly or laterally, leading to a significantly displaced or non-palpable apical impulse, 3,4,6 which our patient had.…”

“…Echocardiogram may show what appears to be a dilated right ventricle due to its anterior location and abnormal interventricular septal motion. 5,7,8 CT or cardiac MRI are the best diagnostic tools for pericardial absence, with cardiac MRI being the gold standard. 7 Management depends on the size of the pericardial defect and presence or absence of symptoms.…”

“…[2] The pathogenesis is multifactorial, but the premature atrophy of the left common cardiac vein (duct of Cuvier), which compromises the blood supply to the left pleuropericardial fold accounts for the most common forms of CAP. [3] Six types of congenital absence of the pericardium have been identified including total absence, right-sided defects (complete or partial), left-sided defects (complete or partial), and diaphragmatic defects (4). CAP can be isolated or it may be associated with other cardiac and extracardiac malformations, including patent ductusarteriosus, atrial septal defects, mitral valvestenosis, bronchogenic cyst and diaphragmatic hernia, or found as a part of other syndromes, such as, the vertebrae, anus, trachea, esophagus, and renal (VATER) syndrome, the Marfan syndrome, and the Pallister, Killian syndrome.…”

“…Bu anomali, sol plöroperikardial kanalı kapatan ve mezodermden köken alan lateral gövde duvarının büyüme defekti ve aynı zamanda plöroperikardiyal membranın gelişim yetersizliği sonucu ortaya çıkar. Patogenezi multifaktöriyel olarak gözükse de, embriyolojik yaşamın 5. ve 6. haftalarında sol kardinal venin (Cuvier'in sol duktusu) erken kapanması sonucunda sol plöroperikardiyal kaviteye yetersiz kan akımı patogenezde temel unsurdur (1) . Sol perikardiyal agenezi oldukça nadir olarak görülür.…”
