| Popis: | Two cases of penetrating stab wounds of the chest are described, complicated by pyrexia, pericarditis, and a tendency to relapse. The clinical picture is compared with that seen in the postcommissurotomy syndrome. Current views on the pathogenesis of the postcommissurotomy syndrome are discussed. The striking similarity of traumatic pericarditis to the postcommissurotomy syndrome as well as to the syndrome following surgery of nonrheumatic heart disease suggests acceptance of the more generic term “postpericardiotomy syndrome”. |
