    This case study details the medical management of a pregnant patient experiencing recurrent pericarditis and pericardial constriction due to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

    Area of Science:

    • Rheumatology
    • Cardiology
    • Obstetrics

    Background:

    • Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) can lead to serious cardiac complications.
    • Recurrent pericarditis and pericardial constriction are known, albeit rare, manifestations of JRA.

    Observation:

    • A 30-year-old gravid patient presented with symptoms suggestive of recurrent pericarditis.
    • Cardiac imaging revealed evidence of pericardial constriction.

    Findings:

    • The patient's condition was diagnosed as secondary to underlying juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.
    • A comprehensive medical management plan was initiated to address both the pericardial disease and the autoimmune condition.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of recognizing cardiac involvement in JRA, even in pregnancy.
