Popis: An idiopathic chronic pericardial effusion which has occurred due to pericardial fluid collection can continue for over a three-month duration without obvious cause. Massive chronic pericardial effusion without cardiac tamponade is quite unusual. We present a male patient with chronic huge pericardial effusion who underwent a pericardial window procedure with 3600 milliliters drainage of pericardial fluid.
