“…MRI examination also shows the cyst contains serous fluid that produces low signal intensity on T1weighted MRI and high signal intensity on T2-weighted MRI. In the present case, the CT number of the mass was higher than that of water (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20). We also found that the signal intensity was slightly high on T1-weighted MRI and high on T2-weighted MRI.…”

“…Pericardial cysts occasionally cause complications including erosion into adjacent structures such as the right ventricular wall [12] or the superior vena cava [13], cyst rupture [14], cardiac tamponade [15,16], atrial fibrillation [17], obstruction of the right mainstem bronchus [18], and sudden death [19]. We conclude that our patient may have been at risk of pericardial cyst rupture when she felt chest pain.…”

“…15,16 Pericardial cysts usually follow a benign course in the majority of cases, although complications have been reported, which include cyst rupture, erosion of the cyst into adjacent structures, such as the right ventricular wall or superior vena cava, cardiac tamponade, mitral valve prolapse, obstruction of right main stem bronchus, atrial fibrillation, and even sudden death. 14,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23] Considering the complications in nonsurgically treated patients, a conservative treatment approach does not appear to be the best option.…”

“…Under these conditions, an excess of polyamines should be expected to interfere with amoeba differentiation into cysts. Alternatively, their effect on encystation may be related to their toxicity, as observed in other organisms [7,[16][17][18].…”
