Pericardial cyst
Pericardial cysts are connected to the pericardium and usually contain clear fluid.
The majority of pericardial cysts arise in the anterior cardiophrenic angle, more frequently on the rightside, but they can be seen as high as the pericardial recesses at the level of the proximal aorta and pulmonary arteries (11).
Most patients are asymptomatic.
On the chest x-ray it seems as if there is a elevated left hemidiaphragm.
On CT however there is a cyst connected to the pericardium. #Clinical #Radiology #CXR #CTChest #PericardialCyst #Pericardial #Cyst #RadiologyAssistant
