Recurrent and rapidly occurring pericardial tamponade in Erdheim Chester disease.
[erdheim-chester disease]
Erdheim
Chester
disease
is
a
very
rare
histiocytic
disorder
characterised
by
tissue
infiltration
by
lipid
laden
histiocytes
.
The
most
common
presentation
is
bone
pains
typically
involving
the
long
bones
.
Over
time
almost
50
%
of
the
patients
develop
extraosseous
involvement
.
The
prognosis
depends
on
the
extent
and
distribution
of
the
extraskeletal
manifestations
.
Cardiovascular
involvement
is
seen
in
up
to
40
%
of
the
patients
and
the
most
common
manifestations
are
periaortic
fibrosis
and
pericardial
involvement
.
Respiratory
distress
,
extensive
pulmonary
fibrosis
,
and
cardiac
failure
are
the
most
common
causes
of
death
in
these
patients
.
Cardiac
tamponade
has
also
been
documented
to
cause
death
in
these
patients
.
We
describe
a
patient
of
Erdheim
Chester
disease
who
presented
with
recurrent
and
very
rapidly
occurring
cardiac
tamponade
in
a
short
duration
of
time
and
benefited
from
timely
recognition
and
management
.
