Cardiac tamponade is a process in which increased pressure in the pericardial space, most often due to fluid accumulation, which can be an exudate hematic, serous or purulent, and less frequently gas, given the complications and timely diagnosis treatment have to be done quickly. For this reason we describe a case of a female in the sixth decade of life, which no previous medical history was admitted to the emergency room with a condition characterized by progressive dyspnea and chest pain based on clinical, radiologic and evolution she reach the diagnosis of cardiac tamponade, which subsequently based on additional studies corroborate that is secondary to lupus erythematosus.
