Fig. 2. Vertical long-axis (A and D) and short-axis (B, C, E, and F) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images of pericardial cyst in patient with pericarditis, myocarditis and massive pleural effusion. Cyst (white asterisks) has low signal intensity on T1-weighted spin-echo CMR image (F) and high signal intensity on T2-weighted short tau inversion-recovery spin-echo CMR image (C). Steady-state-free procession cine CMR images (A and B) show several fibrinous strands in the cyst and right-sided massive pleural effusion (black asterisks). Late gadolinium enhanced CMR images (D and E) show intramural myocardial enhancement in anterior and inferior wall (white arrows) and enhancement of pericardium (white arrowheads), as an expression of myocardial and pericardial inflammation.
