Extensive pericardial calcification secondary to radiotherapy, causing mixed constrictive-restrictive pathology.

Abstract

This report presents the case of a patient who suffered from a mediastinal neuroblastoma in his childhood (in 1977), having been treated by surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. As a result, he developed multiple calcifications in the atria walls, interatrial septum, right ventricular free wall, mitral and aortic valves and pericardium, triggering a mixed constrictive and restrictive pathology.
