Abstract

We report the case of a female infant born at 30 weeks+4 days of gestional age. Delivery was performed by cesarean because of fetal distress and maternal fever in a triplet pregnancy with a previously regular course. In this case the production of pericardial effusion in a well sited catheter without any rupture or erosions, suggests a third way of production of this life-threatening complication, as a sort of trasmural diffusion across the thin layer of atrial wall or cava endothelium. Anyway the final cause of death has probably to be referred to cardiac tamponade, because cardiac activity showed no recovery at all, even after drainage.
