Keith:
 
I don't know of any, never ran into it during residency (with over 500  
deliveries), can't find anything about it on Medscape or MedLine, and my  
favorite High Risk OB doc has never heard of it. Her only guess was a pre  
existing condition (elastic tissue disorder such as Ehlos-Danlers or a coronary  
artery aneurysm with dissection of same).
 
Pericardial effusion, rarely.
 
Pericarditis, occasionally, especially with a viral syndrome.
 
I'm not on CCM-L right now. anything from those savants?

What  relationship is there if any between childbirth and acute
hemopericardium?  Has this been described? What are the potential  causes?
