We present a case of a 75-year-old man who presented with dyspnea, ascites, and pedal edema and was found to have constrictive pericarditis on multimodality imaging with positive serology for Strongyloides Stercoralis. Treatment required ivermectin and radical pericardiectomy with significant clinical improvement. (Level of Difficulty Intermediate.).
