An 18-year-old male patient who is evaluated in the Cardiology Department of the Víctor Manuel Sanabria Martínez Hospital, referred to the first level of attention due to chronic symptoms of atypical chest pain accompanied by pectus excavatum and left displacement of the peak beat. Chest X-ray Posteroanterior with moderate cardiomegaly with maximum levocardia. Transthoracic echocardiogram with preserved biventricular systolic function, moderate dilatation of the right ventricle, without signs of pulmonary hypertension and cardiac image of “tear heart”. Thoracic Computed Angiotomography with contrast documenting malformation of the rib cage with sinking of the external region, in relation to pectus excavatum. Heart enlarged in relation to grade I cardiomegaly and displacement towards the left hemithorax. No pericardium is observed in any region. Slightly dilated right atrium with a right ventricle with an increased diameter in its middle portion and deformity of its outflow tract due to the shape of the rib cage. Corroborating the diagnosis of complete pericardial agenesis.
