Bronchogenic cysts arise from an abnormal budding of the ventral diverticulum of the foregut or the tracheobronchial tree during embryogenesis. Rarely they develop within the pericardium. Symptoms of intrapericardial bronchogenic cysts such as chest pain, shortness of breath and arrhythmias can vary according to the location of the cyst, its size and compression of heart and vessels. In this case report we present a young women in whom the diagnosis of an intrapericardial bronchogenic cyst was made by echocardiography and later was approved intraoperatively.
