Acute pericarditis with transient constriction.

Transient constrictive pericarditis is a rare entity. It is characterized by clinical and echocardiographic features similar to constrictive pericarditis, but is distinguished by its transient nature. This feature is important to recognize for avoiding unnecessary pericardectomy. The case of a patient who presented with acute myopericarditis and typical echocardiographic features of constriction is described. Within weeks, all signs of constriction disappeared spontaneously.
