Abstract

AbstractPneumopericardium is the presence of air in the pericardial sac. Pneumopericardium after pericardiocentesis has been rarely reported in the literature. In the present case, we report a patient who presented with tamponade physiology during COVID‐19 and developed pneumopericardium after emergency pericardiocentesis. Immediate recognition and treatment are crucial and chest x‐ray, thorax computerized tomography, and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) are used for diagnosis.
