Abstract: Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autoimmune disease characterized by recurrent fever and inflamation of serous membranes, including the peritoneum, synovia, and pleura. The disease often presents with the symptoms of generalized peritonitis, pleuritis, or monoarthritis. Familial Mediterranean fever in isolated cases of pericarditis are extremely rare. In this article, we present a 60-year-old male case with pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade caused by FMF who was admitted after having complained of recurrent fever episodes over a period of seven years.
