We describe an uncommon case of CP with a series of textbook findings and received successful treatment with surgical pericardiectomy (SP).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 58-year-old male presented to the emergency department with exertional dyspnoea and anasarca. The past medical history was negative for infections like tuberculosis, viral, etc., connective tissue disease, prior cardiac surgery, human immunodeficiency virus, or any radiation therapy. The vital signs were within normal limits except mild hypoxia while the physical examination was consistent with congestive heart failure. Further investigations with laboratory testing, imaging with chest X-ray, computed tomography, echocardiogram, and invasive study with right heart catheterization were all consistent with idiopathic chronic CP. The patient underwent successful SP with significant improvement in clinical condition.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>This case highlights the classical signs and symptoms along with important diagnostic features of CP. It is uncommon to see all the classical features of CP in one patient as described in the above case. Familiarity with these findings is crucial to make the diagnosis as early treatment is affiliated with improved outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n
