Pediatric pericardial effusions are most often associated with neoplasms (1), with an incidence of> 10% after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)(2). Though each method of pericardial drainage, that is, percutaneous or surgical, has advantages in terms of complication rates or repetitive placement rates, respectively (3), the percutaneous method is often selected in these patients because of their immunosuppressed state. Percutaneous drainage has traditionally been performed with the subxiphoid approach, but in patients with hepatomegaly, it is often done with the transthoracic approach, and there is no difference in complication rates between the two (4). Hemothorax due to intercostal artery injury is a complication of percutaneous transthoracic pericardiocentesis, generally occurring at the moment of puncture and progressing over time. A case in which tension hemothorax developed suddenly on the 8th day after transthoracic pericardiocentesis associated with thrombocytopenia is reported. This is the first report of delayed tension hemothorax without similar reports in the past. Consent for submission of this article was obtained from the patient’s parents.The patient was a 6-year-old girl who underwent HSCT for chronic active Epstein-Barr virus infection. Engraftment was confirmed 3 weeks after HSCT, but a pericardial effusion due to thrombotic microangiopathy, which was treated with steroids and heparin, accumulated and increased over time (Fig. 1a). Lower limb edema and dyspnea, that is, bilateral heart failure symptoms, gradually
