Constrictive pericarditis is a rare cause of ascites and cardiac cirrhosis. We present the case of a 36-year- old male patient with a history of cirrhosis of unknown etiology, who consulted for refractory ascites, dyspnea, and lower limb swelling. Echocardiography determined constrictive pericarditis, which was corroborated by the findings of computed tomography. The clinical and hemodynamic worsening of the patient led to an emergency pericardiectomy with satisfactory recovery. This report shows a severe clinical consequence of constrictive pericarditis, cardiac cirrhosis, which was reversible with pericardial extirpation. Multimodal imaging was essential in the diagnosis of constrictive pericarditis.

Objetivo: Conocer la utilidad de la citología cervicovaginal y colposcopia en el diagnóstico de cáncer de cuello uterino en el Hospital PNP Luis N. Sáenz durante el año 2016. Metodología: El tipo y diseño es descriptivo, observacional, retrospectivo y transversal, en base a la recopilación de datos de las historias clínicas de 129 pacientes sometidas a biopsia cervical en el periodo de enero a diciembre del 2016 en el servicio de Ginecología Obstetricia del Hospital Luis N. Sáenz. Se calculó sensibilidad, especificidad, VPP y VPN de la citología cervicovaginal y colposcopia. Resultados: Se encontró en este estudio que el 62.8% tuvo resultado positivo y 37,2% resultado negativo en la biopsia. El promedio de la edad de pacientes con biopsia positiva fue de 44,4 +- 10,68 años, siendo la mínima 20 años y la máxima 72 años. Obtuvimos una sensibilidad, especificidad de la ci...

We present the case of a 56-year-old patient with fever of unknown origin associated with chest and lumbar pain. Multimodality imaging revealed diffuse peri-aortitis in the thoracic aorta without involvement of the aortic valve, contributing substantially to the diagnosis of Ig G4-associated aortitis. Immunosuppressive therapy was started. Follow-up at five months with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a reduction in the inflammatory process in the thoracic aorta.
