Computed tomography in 2 patients with constrictive pericarditis and history of tuberculosis showed pericardial thickening and calcification, inferior vena caval dilation, enlarged atria, and small tubular ventricles. Computed tomography accurately differentiated constrictive pericarditis from restrictive cardiomyopathy. Successful pericardiectomy was carried out in both cases.
