Abstract
A case of chronic relapsing pericarditis is presented in which all forms of medical therapy failed. Pericardectomy was performed as a last resort, with complete resolution of symptoms. Incessant pericarditis, as distinguished from recurrent intermittent pericarditis, may respond favourably to surgical removal, especially in the presence of recurrent pericardial effusion.Entities:
