We report a case of effusive-constrictive pericarditis consequent to a motor vehicle accident.<\/jats:p>\n A 32-year-old man with gastroesophageal reflux disease presented with severe substernal chest pain of a month's duration and dyspnea on exertion for one week. Echocardiograms revealed a moderate pericardial effusion, and the diagnosis was subacute effusive-constrictive pericarditis. After thorough tests revealed nothing definitive, we learned that the patient had been in a motor vehicle accident weeks before symptom onset, which made blunt trauma the most likely cause of pericardial injury and effusion. Medical management resolved the effusion and improved his symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n To our knowledge, this is the first report of effusion from posttraumatic constrictive pericarditis associated with a motor vehicle accident. We encourage providers to consider recent trauma as a possible cause of otherwise idiopathic pericarditis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14503\/thij-19-7002","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,30]],"date-time":"2020-09-30T19:58:25Z","timestamp":1601495905000},"page":"233-235","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Posttraumatic Subacute Effusive-Constrictive Pericarditis After a Motor Vehicle Accident"],"prefix":"10.14503","volume":"47","author":[{"given":"Melroy S.","family":"D'Souza","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30307"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kaitlin","family":"Shinn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Emory University School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30307"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anup D.","family":"Patel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Internal Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia 30307"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"5628","reference":[{"issue":"4","key":"i1526-6702-47-3-233-b1","series-title":"Cardiol Clin","first-page":"551","article-title":"Effusive-constrictive pericarditis","volume":"35","year":"2017","unstructured":"Miranda\n WR,\n \n \n Oh\n JK.\n \n \n Effusive-constrictive pericarditis.\n\t\t\t\t\tCardiol Clin2017;35(4):551\u20138."},{"issue":"2","key":"i1526-6702-47-3-233-b2","series-title":"Int J Cardiol","first-page":"648","article-title":"Post-cardiac injury syndromes.
