Resolution of cardiac tamponade in systemic lupus erythematosus with indomethacin

JM Porcel, A Selva, MP Tornos, E Galve and J Soler-Soler
Departamento de Medicina, Hospital General Vall D'Hebron, Barcelona, Spain.

Although in SLE pericarditis is common, cardiac tamponade is rare and its usual treatment has been effusion drainage. A 19-year-old girl presenting with cardiac tamponade was diagnosed with SLE. Treatment with indomethacin rapidly reduced the hemodynamic compromise, avoiding the need for pericardiocentesis.
