| dc.description.abstract | Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a recurrent disease with autosomal recessive trait and fever that is generally self-limiting. Clinical manifestations are pain in the abdomen, chest, and joints as a result of inflammation in the serous surfaces. No case of multiple intestinal perforations has been reported in children with FMF, whereas cases with a single intestinal perforation have been encountered, although very rarely. In addition, co-occurrence of FMF and inflammatory bowel disease is a situation that is very rarely reported in the literature. Here, we report a case of a 5-year-old girl who was being followed up with the diagnosis of FMF and who also had inflammatory bowel disease, which was complicated with multiple ileal perforations. Our aim is to point out a rarely encountered co-occurrence and also the importance of evaluation of additional diseases with FMF that are unresponsive to treatment so as to prevent complications. | |
