Pericarditis with Atrial Septal Defect with Bilateral Haemorrhagic Ovarian Cyst: A Case Report

Abstract

We are reporting a case of bilateral haemorrhagic ovarian cyst with pericarditis with atrial septal defect (ASD) in a 32 years female. Diagnosis of ASD was incidental when she was under evaluation for bilateral haemorrhagic ovarian cyst. Diagnosis was confirmed by echocardiography. During closure of ASD, pericardium was not used for patch closure because pericardium was full of multiple small nodules which was a suspected case of tubercular pericarditis, patient had also bilateral ovarian cyst which was suspected due to TB. ASD was closed by using Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) patch. Pericardium was sent for histopathology and report was chronic pericarditis. Postoperative course was uneventful with marked improvement of symptoms.
