Background:
We present 2 cases of pericardiocentesis due to Anorexia nervosa in young women

Material and methods:
A twenty-year-old and twenty-four-year-old female with a history of anorexia nervosa were admitted to the cardiac surgery department due to pericardial effusions

Results:
Both cases need urgent pericardiectomy. Our patients did not show any signs of acute heart failure during the hospitalization. Due to their primary diagnosis, they needed psychological support and monitoring of their food intake.

Conclusions:
Pericardial effusions are common in adolescent AN patients, and echocardiography monitoring is needed to prevent the progression of acute cardiac tamponade.
