Abstract

Congenital absence of pericardium is rare. Pericardial defects can be complete or partial. Partial pericardial defect may be symptomatic. We report a rare case of partial pericardial defect in an asymptomatic patient which was suggested by chest radiograph and confirmed by computed tomography and brief review of literature is also presented.
