Dressler’s syndrome is a rare entity which was first described in 1956 by Dr. William Dressler. It consists of secondary pericarditis, at times associated with pericardial effusion with an apparently autoimmune etiology, which is one of the post-cardiac injury syndromes. We present a case of Dressler’s syndrome in a young patient.
