title: [Periaortic fibrosis with pericardial and perirenal involvement: apropos of a case].
abstract: The authors report a case of right ventricular insufficiency by constrictive pericarditis revealing aortic and retroperitoneal fibrosis. Only one similar case has been published. We discuss the etiology of this affection, the possible analogies with idiopathic systemic fibrosis and Takayasu's disease and the possible participation of thyroiditis disease and therapy (particularly propranolol).
