Presentation
The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. [books.google.com]
Finally, a review of literature focusing on congenital absence of the pericardium, as well as a discussion of clinical presentation, imaging techniques and therapeutic options, is also presented. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Further history and workup for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and a hereditary hypercoagulable state failed to identify a cause for PE. The patient was discharged, but later on readmitted to the hospital with chest pain and palpitations. [heartviews.org]
Treatment
The material is in no way intended to replace professional medical care by a qualified specialist and should not be used as a basis for diagnosis or treatment. [orpha.net]
Enlarged LA and LA appendages due to herniation through the defect may cause persistent AF, and antiarrhythmic treatment may be necessary for such patients. [e-sciencecentral.org]
Treatment and prognosis Asymptomatic isolated agenesis usually requires no treatment 10. Symptomatic patients who have the complete form may benefit from a pericardioplasty 4. [radiopaedia.org]
Prognosis
Prognosis [ edit ] The prognosis of ectopia cordis depends on classification according to three factors: [1] Location of the defect Cervical Thoracic Thoracoabdominal Abdominal Extent of the cardiac displacement Presence or absence of intracardiac defects [en.wikipedia.org]
Prognosis CCAM is a rare fetal lung disease with an excellent prognosis in the absence of fetal hydrops. Resection of the CCAM generally leads to full recovery. [patient.info]

Signal characteristics are those of fluid and include 4 : T1: typically low signal (occasionally can be high signal if contains proteinaceous material) T2: high signal T1 C+ (Gd): no enhancement Treatment and prognosis They are benign lesions. [radiopaedia.org]
Etiology
