Myopericarditis with a pericardial effusion as the initial presenting feature of SLE is uncommon. We report an unusual case of myopericarditis and pericardial effusion with subsequent heart failure, as the initial manifestation of SLE. The timely recognition and early steroid administration are imperative in SLE-related myopericarditis with cardiomyopathy to prevent the mortality associated with this condition.

Initial Manifestation

AbstractCardiac involvement is a rare initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus. An 11-year-old girl was described to have massive haemorrhagic pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade, which was later diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus. Therefore, in children presenting with cardiac tamponade, systemic lupus erythematosus should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses, as morbidity and mortality associated with cardiac tamponade can be dramatically reduced with early diagnosis and use of steroids.

Denver Shunt

We report our experience in the application of a Denver shunt as surgical treatment for intractable pericardial effusion. The patient was a 60-year-old woman who suffered from pericarditis accompanied by intractable pericardial effusion as complications of systemic lupus erythematosus. Pericardial fenestration with thoracoscopic assistance and a right pleuroperitoneal shunt using a Denver shunt were performed as surgical treatment. Postoperatively, the patient’s heart failure symptoms disappeared and her pericardial effusion was considerably reduced. The postoperative course was uneventful without recurrence after a 2-year follow-up period.

Obstructive Shock

Acute pericardial tamponade, which can cause obstructive shock, is a serious life-threatening medical emergency that can be readily reversed by timely identification and appropriate intervention. Acute pericardial tamponade can occur for a number of reasons, including idiopathic, malignancy, uremia, iatrogenic, post-myocardial infarction, infection, collagen vascular, hypothyroidism, and others. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and hyperthyroidism associated with pericardial tamponade are rarely reported. Here, we report the case of a 20-year-old female patient was final diagnosed of SLE with Graves’ hyperthyroidism.
