Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent inflammatory febrile attacks of serosal and synovial membranes. Clinical manifestations include recurrent fever, abdominal pain, chest pain, arthritis and erysipelas-like skin lesions. Cold exposure, stress, infections, fatigue, menstruation, insomnia, starvation, over nutrition and trauma can provoke the FMF attacks. In this article, a 3.5-year-old female patient previously diagnosed with vesicoureteral reflux who was admitted to the emergency department because of trauma and diagnosed by FMF is presented to emphasize that FMF should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of acute abdomen and trauma or trauma-related stress could rarely trigger the FMF attacks.
