Constrictive pericarditis is uncommon in children. It results from scarring and consequent loss of the normal elasticity of the pericardial sac and is most commonly seen as a late sequelae of idiopathic or viral pericarditis. Here, we report a case of protein losing enteropathy as a complication of constrictive pericarditis in a 2-year-old child. Pericardial thickening was demonstrated by cardiac MRI and subsequent pericardiectomy led to remarkable improvement and resolution of protein losing enteropathy.

As survival rates and functional status of the adult single ventricle population have grown, some may become pregnant inadvertently or against our advice. The outcomes are often poor, being worse for the fetus/baby rather than the mother with a Fontan circuit. No reports of a successful delivery of a healthy baby to a Fontan mother with protein losing enteropathy were found in the literature. We present one such case.
