Calcific Constrictive Pericarditis
Imaging findings
Extensive, exuberant calcification of the pericardium with visible milk of calcium, dilated IVC, ascites, and pleural effusions.
Key takeaways
Pericardial calcification often spares the left ventricular apex. Constrictive pericarditis can lead to selective left-sided pleural effusions.
