62-year-old woman with clinical presentation of Dressler’s syndrome following mitral and tricuspid valve replacement. Axial T1-weighted FSE imaging shows mildly thickening pericardium (a, black arrows). Short-axis T2-weighted fast spin echo imaging shows diffuse hyperintense appearance of the pericardium (b, white arrows). Late gadolinium enhancement imaging in cardiac short-axis shows diffuse strong pericardial enhancement (c, white arrows). CMR findings are highly suggestive of inflammatory pericarditis without evidence of associated pericardial effusion (“dry pericarditis”)
