Abstract

Chylopericardium is the accumulation of chylous fluid in the pericardial space. Many etiologies can be found and the treatment depends on the etiology and remains unclear. This rare entity needs some tests to determine its causes. Diagnosis is based on many tools; the pericardial biopsy puncture and lymphoscintigraphy are the most important ones. The treatment requires low fat diet, lipid lowering therapy and surgery in some cases. We here report the first case in the IBN ROCHD university hospital?s Cardiology department of Casablanca, Morocco. It deals with a 32-year-old patient who consulted for dyspnea exacerbation for 18 months, becoming at rest. Chest X-ray and echocardiography were performed discovering pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis was performed to confirm the nature of liquid and lymphoscintigraphy showed no abnormal communication between the thoracic duct and pericardium.

Abstract

Acute myocarditis is often a challenging diagnosis due to a lack of specific clinical or paraclinical signs. It can be presented by a severe chest pain and localized ST elevation on Electrocardiogram, in rare cases, misleading the diagnosis towards acute coronary syndrome. After routine coronary angiography, a cardiac magnetic resonance imaging is imposed to correct the diagnosis towards acute myocarditis. We report the observation of a 19 year-old Moroccan male admitted to the cardiology department of IBN ROCHD University hospital of Casablanca, for acute myocarditis misdiagnosed initially as an acute myocardial infarction ST elevation and confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging.

Abstract

Acute rheumatic fever is a well-known disease that is still widely observed in developing countries, including our country Morocco. It is known that the majority of patients diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever display abnormalities of the conduction system; However, there are only a few case reports that describe severe impairment in the electrical conduction system. We describe a 21-year-old man who was diagnosed with acute rheumatic fever with complete atrioventricular block. In our patient, the diagnosis of acute rheumatic fever was established. 24-hour electrocardiography showed a paroxistic complete atrioventricular block. Penicillin prophylaxis was made, and salicylate treatment in an anti-inflammatory dose was initiated. The electrocardiographic abnormalities of the patient disappeared. Although rare, this diagnosis should be considered in patients with complete heart block, particularly when it is associated with other features of acute rheumatic fever. Conduction disorders associated with acute rheumatic fever often resolve following appropriate treatment without the need for permanent pacemaker placement.
