    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Trois nouvelles observations d'agénésie du péricarde sont rapportées: 2 cas d'agénésie partielle, 1 cas d'agénésie totale. Ces trois malades ont été opérés (résection de l'auricule gauche). Les auteurs envisagent ensuite l'historique et la fréquence de cette anomalie, puis l'embryologie qui explique la plus grande fréquence des aplasies du péricarde gauche. Enfin ils envisagent les circonstances diagnostiques et la conduite thérapeutique, en opposant les formes globales, parfaitement tolérées, aux formes partielles (foramen péricardique), qui exposent au risque d'incarcération de l'auricule gauche avec parfois mort subite.
    Notes: Summary Three new cases of pericardial agenesis are reported: two cases of partial agenesis and one of total agenesis. All three cases were operated (resection of the left atrium). Following description of their cases, the authors provide an historical perspective of this disorder and analyse its frequency. A consideration of the embryology of the region explains why left sided agenesis is by far the more frequent. Finally, they discuss the appropriate diagnostic approach and suitable treatment, comparing total agenesis which is usually well tolerated with partial agenesis which exposes the patient to the risk of atrial herniation and occasionally sudden death.
