Abstract

Constrictive pericarditis is frequently diagnosed during evaluation of the patients for hepatosplenomegaly and easily missed if not considered in differential diagnosis. Herein, we present a patient diagnosed with constrictive pericarditis during his investigation for impaired liver functions and right heart failure one year after liver transplantation.
