Cardiac tamponade caused by Familial Mediterranean fever: A case report

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.
