Une forme rarissime de péricardite : l’épicardite constrictive comme manifestation post-tuberculeuse

Abstract

Chronic constrictive epicarditis is a rare form of chronic pericarditis. It leads to thickening of the epicardium and adhesion to cardiac structures, impairing diastolic filling. This article explores its pathophysiological, diagnostic, and therapeutic aspects through a case of post-tuberculous epicarditis, and emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and appropriate surgical management.
