title: [Recurrent acute pericarditis associated with adult-onset Still's disease treated with pericardiectomy].
abstract: Recurrent acute pericarditis associated with adult onset Still's disease is an unusual feature. We present a case with recurrent episodes of acute pericarditis with cardiac tamponade which only improved with corticosteroid therapy. Because of the severe and frequent recurrences and corticodependence development, a subtotal pericardiectomy was performed with a good outcome after a 12-month observation period.
