Magnetic Resonance Imaging, vol. 84, pp. 132–134
Abstract
Perimyocarditis is a well-known acute inflammation of the pericardium and the underlying myocardium. Most commonly perimyocarditis is of viral aetiology, specifically the coxsackie B virus. However, nowadays SARS-CoV-2 associated with COVID-19 infections has emerged as a potential rare cause of perimyocarditis. This case report will demonstrate a case of a young female with perimyocarditis as diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accompanied by antigens indicating a past COVID-19 infection. Clinical status as well as Findings at MRI, echocardiography and lab results will be reviewed.
