    Abstract
    Pericardial disorders occurring in connective tissue diseases are not uncommon and may present as acute or chronic pericarditis with or without an effusion. In many instances, a diagnosis of pericardial involvement is not found until autopsy. Echocardiography and other currently employed radiographic techniques have enhanced the ability to make a diagnosis. Approximate frequencies of common connective tissue disorders with pericardial involvement include scleroderma (59%), systemic lupus erythematosus (44%), mixed connective tissue disease (30%), rheumatoid arthritis (24%), and polymyositis/dermatomyositis (11%). Cardiac tamponade or constriction is rare. This article describes a patient with clinical features consistent with mixed connective tissue disease that presented with a pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade. In addition, a review of pericardial involvement in connective tissue diseases and the occurrence of cardiac tamponade or constriction is included.
