Abstract :
Congenital absence of the pericardium is a rare condition, which is usually encountered incidentally in surgical procedures or autopsies (1, 2). We reported a patient with total agenesis of the pericardium. The anomaly was missed despite of the abnormal chest X-ray and computed tomography findings.
