Constrictive pericarditis, a rare cause of recurrent pregnancy loss, is a clinical entity characterized by a rigid, fibrotic, thickened pericardium and causes both right and left ventricular diastolic filling deterioration. The underlying etiology is mostly idiopathic, followed by pericardial injury and metabolic and connective tissue diseases. It may follow any pericardial inflammation or effusion, leading to the ultimate development of chronic fibrotic scar tissue and calcification. Endometriosis is a clinical condition defined as functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. We presented a case of constrictive pericarditis that developed one year after the clinical diagnosis of a pericarditis attack in a 32-year-old woman with recurrent pregnancy loss and endometrioma cyst surgery.
