Abstract

Familial Mediterranean fever is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurring inflammatory attacks of synovial membranes. More than 95% of patients show peritoneal involvement which mimics acute abdomen and can sometimes cause unnecessary surgical intervention. The authors present two patients with the diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever who underwent surgery because of rare abdominal complication of the disease. Two patients with the diagnosis of familial Mediterranean fever underwent laparotomy, and segmental small bowel resection was done because of the necrosis. Adhesive intestinal obstruction with associated bowel strangulation and volvulus is a rare complication of familial Mediterranean fever, and this life-threatening emergency must be kept in mind.

Özet

Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi, sinovyal membranların tekrarlayan inflamatuar atakları ile karakterize otozomal resesif geçişli bir hastalıktır. Hastaların %95 inden fazlasında zaman zaman gereksiz cerrahi girişime yol açan akut batın ataklarına yol açan peritoneal tutulum gözlenir. Yazarlar hastalığın peritoneal tutulumuna bağlı ender gelişen bir komplikasyon nedeni ile ameliyat edilmiş iki olgu sunmuşlardır. Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi tandı iki hastada akut batın tablosu ile laparotomi yapılmış ve ince barsak nekrozu saptanarak rezeksiyona gidilmiştir. Adheziv intestinal tıkanıklık ve buna bağlı intestinal volvulus Ailevi Akdeniz Ateşi'nin ender görülen bir komplikasyonudur ve bu önemli komplikasyon akılda tutulmalıdır.
