Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is a rare systemic inflammatory disease. Serositis is a well-known clinical manifestation but may result in complications such as cardiac tamponade or constrictive pericarditis. We present the case of a patient with acute pericarditis with severe pericardial effusion associated with clinical signs of arthritis and skin rash, with a final diagnosis of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, who was treated with anti-L1 with good evolution.
