Abstract

A 51-year-old female patient was referred to our hospital with a suspected portal vein thrombosis. As portal vein thrombosis was suspected a CT was performed instantaneously. During CT the patient became hemodynamically and respiratory unstable, consequently the patient was intubated. After intubation a flatline on ECG was recognized and resuscitation was begun. CT showed a cardiac tamponade. While resuscitation continued paracentesis was performed and a return of spontaneous circulation was attained. Cardiac tamponade is a difficult but important differential diagnosis of reversible causes of reanimation.
