Nontraumatic hemopericardium

Hemopericardium and cardiac tamponade as presenting findings of anomalous left coronary artery syndrome complicated by transmural myocardial infarction

“…Pericardial effusions are associated with large infarcted areas and have been observed more often in anterior infarctions [9]. Nontraumatic hemopericardium is most often associated with myocardial rupture associated with an infarct [1].…”

“…Hemopericardium has been reported in only one infant with the diagnosis of anomalous LCA syndrome associated with myocardial rupture [6]. In patients without infarction or trauma the presence of hemopericardium should raise the suspicion of a primary myocardial tumor or abscess, infectious myopericarditis, or a complication of a blood dyscrasia [1,3,8]. Myocardial infarction during infancy is rare.…”

Spontaneous Anticoagulant-Induced Hemopericardium with Tamponade

“…Hemorrhagic complications during anticoagu lant therapy are well recognized, but the possibility of bleeding into the pericardium is not mentioned [1], Nontraumatic bleeding into the pericardial sac is an uncommon event which most frequently occurs following acute myocardial infarction [2,3], and dissection of an aortic aneurysm [2]. Other conditions described in association with hemo pericardium and tamponade during anticoagulant therapy are postmyocardial infarction syndrome [4] and nonspecific [3][4][5] or rheumatic [61 pericar ditis.…”
