11살된 암컷 푸들 (체중 2.3 kg)이 지속적인 기침, 호흡곤란, 운동불내성 및 식욕부진으로 내원하였다. 영상진단 검사 및 실험실 검사를 통해, 환자는 ISACHC Ib 단계의 이첨판 패쇄부전증이 합병된 특발성 출혈성 심낭수 유출증으로 진단되었다. 우측 흉벽에서 심낭에 접근하여 투시현미경의 조사 하에 엘리게이터 포셉과 카테터를 이용한 경피하 심낭 부분절개술을 실시하였다. 시술 직후 실시한 ECG 와 심초음파 검사에서 환자의 심장 기능은 크게 개선되었다. 환자는 경도의 이첨판 역류증과 술 후 감염을 관리하기 위해 furosemide (1 mg/kg, bid, PO), enalapril (0.5 mg/kg, bid, PO), cephradine (20 mg/kg, bid, PO)을 처방 받고 퇴원하였다. 2주 후 실시된 검사에서 심낭수는 발견되지 않았으며 임상증상은 크게 개선되어있었다. 현재는 이첨판 패쇄부전증에 대한 처치를 위해 enalapril을 투약 중이고, 주기적으로 환자를 모니터하고 있다.

From January, 1982, to December, 1990, 15 patients underwent pericardiectomy for chronic constrictive pericarditis on Department Of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, School of Medicine, Pusan National University. There were 9 male and 6 female patients [male to female ratio was 1.5: 1] ranging from 15 years to 63 years old [mean age 35.0]. All patients underwent pericardiectomy through a median sternotomy, partial cardiopulmonary bypass was performed on two patients. There were 3 postoperative death [20%]. Six cases [40%] were tuberculous origin 5 cases [34%] were Idiopathic [nonspecific chronic inflammatory change was considered to idiopathic], 2 cases [13%] were malignant origin, 2 cases [13Yo] were pyogenic origin. Dyspnea on exertion was evident in all patients and abdominal distention, general weakness, palpitation, peripheral edema were found. Eleven patients showed low voltage of QRS wave, 7 patients showed diffuse ST-T wave change, 2 patients showed atrial fibrillation on EKG. There were 6 patient showed pericardial thickening, 5 patients showed evidence of restriction, 5 patients showed pericardial effusion, 4 patients showed low cardiac output on preoperative echocardiogram. Hemodynamic response to pericardiectomy were observed; preoperative CVP 26.8 cmH2O declined to 15.0 cmH2O. Preoperative NYHA Functional class showed class II - 1, class III - 10, class IV - 4, postoperative NYHA functional class showed class I - 7, class II - 4, class Ill - l.

Recurrent pericarditis is rare in children and is considered idiopathic in most cases. Its course is chronic, and preventing recurrences is important for the patient's quality of life. Although a treatment strategy in pediatric recurrent pericarditis has not yet been established, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are the most common treatment for management of this condition, followed by corticosteroids, colchicine, immunosuppressive agents, immunoglobulins, and interleukin-$1{\beta}$ receptor antagonists (e.g. anakinra). Herein, we report a case of recurrent pericarditis with pericardial effusion in a 5-year-old child who presented with fever and epigastric pain. He responded poorly to NSAIDs and corticosteroid therapy, but was successfully treated with colchicine.
