Abstract
Our case report details the clinical course and management of a neonate with acute life-threatening respiratory distress presenting soon after birth. She needed intubation and ventilation. A pericardial cyst was diagnosed after a CT scan and 2D echo investigation. As a temporizing procedure the fluid was tapped and the child was electively operated. Postoperatively she made an uneventful and complete recovery. We have reviewed the literature for this rare and often asymptomatic lesion.Entities:
