Description
Constrictive pericarditis is a rare type of pericardial disease that can be caused by
various factors. Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the most common causes of this abnormality
in Indonesia. Interestingly, tuberculous constrictive pericarditis can occur in the
absence of acute pericarditis, pulmonary, or extrapulmonary TB. This case described
a male adolescent with refractory right-sided heart failure symptoms who developed
a rapidly progressive tuberculous constrictive pericarditis. Various imaging modalities,
such as echocardiography, chest computed tomography (CT) scan, cardiac magnetic
resonance imaging, and incidental PET/CT scan, were used to diagnose the pericardial
abnormality. Histopathological findings in pericardial tissues confirmed the diagnosis.
Complete surgical pericardiectomy, in conjunction with anti-TB drugs, diuretics, and
colchicine, resulted in a significant clinical improvement.
