Popis: A 16-year-old male with past medical history of congenital atrial septal defect surgical repair presented with recurrent pericarditis secondary to post-cardiotomy injury syndrome (PCIS). After failing medical therapy, he ultimately underwent pericardiectomy for symptom resolution. PCIS is underdiagnosed in children and should be considered in patients with recurrent chest pain.
