Abstract
An unusual case of chronic pericarditis with effusion, lasting at least four years, in an asymptomatic child, is presented. The literature on the subject is reviewed. Attention is drawn to the fact that such cases exist, and should be considered when one is confronted with a case of cardiac enlargement of obscure etiology.
