On admission, obesity, slowness of thinking, bradicardia, distention of jugular veins and ascites were observed on physical examination. Laboratory showed undetectable thyroid hormone levels, a chest X ray showed bilateral pleural effusion and an enlarged heart. An echocardiography showed a massive pericardial effusion with collapse of the right atrium and dilatation of both caval veins. A pericardial tap was performed, draining 350 ml. Thyroid hormone substitution was started and after 12 months of follow up, the heart size decreased and a control echocardiogram showed a minimal pericardial effusion (Rev Méd Chile 2001; 129: 1191-94)info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSociedad Médica de SantiagoRevista médica de Chile v.129 n.10 20012001-10-01text/htmlhttp://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0034-98872001001000013es10.4067/S0034-98872001001000013
