ABSTRACT
The accumulation of fluid in the pericardium in an amount sufficient to cause serious obstruction to the inflow of blood to the ventricles results in cardiac tamponade. This complication may be fatal if it is not recognized and treated promptly. We report a case of cardiac tamponade caused by acute pancreatitis, which resolved after catheter drainage.
