Abstract

Adult Still’s disease is a rare auto inflammatory condition characterised by fever, arthralgias and skin rash. A wide spectrum of complications have been described, such as cardiac tamponade, pulmonary hypertension, macrophage activation syndrome, thrombotic microangiopathy, diffuse alveolar haemorrhage and even acute respiratory distress syndrome. We report an 18-year old female who met enough criteria for diagnosis of Adult Still’s disease, but also presented with signs and symptoms of idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
