摘要
INTRODUCTION: Congenital pericardial defects are rare but can cause fatal complications. Most cases are asymptomatic and incidentally detected during a thoracic surgery or autopsy. We report a case of a partial pericardial defect confirmed based on spontaneous pneumothorax. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 16-year-old boy with left spontaneous pneumothorax showed pneumopericardium on chest X-ray. Chest computed tomography revealed a partial pericardial defect. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery was performed, and a small pericardial defect was confirmed at the level of the upper pulmonary hilum. We did not reconstruct the defect because of the improbability of cardiac herniation. DISCUSSION: Pneumopericardium combined with pneumothorax suggests the existence of a pericardial foramen. Partial pericardial defects could cause cardiac herniation or strangulation, and pneumothorax may worsen the protruding of the heart. Video-assisted thoracic surgery is an effective method to prevent the recurrence of pneumothorax and determine whether reconstruction of the defect is required. CONCLUSION: Video-assisted thoracic surgery should be performed in the case of a pericardial defect combined with pneumothorax. (C) 2020 The Author(s).
