    A Case of Congenital Total Pericardial Agenesis Mimicking Pneumothorax Findings
    (2024) Ulutaş, Hakkı; Ağar, Mehmet; Erdil, Nevzat; Çelik, Muhammet Reha
    Congenital pericardial agenesis has been reported as usually asymptomatic cases, operated on for other reasons and found incidentally or in autopsy reports. Herein, we present a case of congenital total pericardial agenesis mimicking the findings of pneumothorax and incidentally detected in a uniportal video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS). Total agenesis of the pericardium, which is very rare and usually asymptomatic, has a very good prognosis and does not require additional treatment unless it causes complications. It may mimic pneumothorax findings.
