We report a case of a patient with a chief complaint of ascites for whom close examination revealed that the liver injury was attributed to constrictive pericarditis and chronic aortic dissection, with immunoglobulin G4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) as the primary cause.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Case summary<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>A 72-year-old man presented to the emergency department with scrotal oedema and ascites. Initially, the patient was hospitalized in the Department of Hepatology. However, computed tomography (CT) revealed aortic dissection (DeBakey type II), pericardial thickening, and impaired right ventricular dilatation. Therefore, we performed an ascending aortic replacement. IgG4 staining of the aortic wall revealed an IgG4\/IgG-positive cell ratio of 35%. Pathological examination did not confirm the diagnosis of IgG4-related aortitis; however, the patient was diagnosed with IgG4-RD because of decreased blood IgG4 levels in response to steroid medication and the presence of heterogeneous thickened lesions in the pericardium. The patient took prednisolone 5\u2005mg\/day for 1 month post-operatively. His IgG4 level decreased but re-elevated above the baseline value after discontinuation of oral medication.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Liver cirrhosis was suspected given the ascites, although a CT scan on admission confirmed insufficiency of systemic circulation due to cardiac constrictive pericarditis with aortic dissection. Despite the complexity of various pathologies in this patient, collaborative efforts and effective communication within the medical team enabled successful aortic surgery, averting life-threatening complications.<\/jats:p>\n
