Adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic inflammatory disease of unknown origin with various clinical manifestations. In this article, we describe a case of 57-year-old presenting with Still's disease complicated by cardiac tamponade. This case highlights the importance of a prompt diagnosis of cardiac involvement in inflammatory diseases, as it can be fatal, and underlines the utility of echocardiographic evaluation not only in symptomatic patients, but also for the systematic detection of pericardial effusions. The case of hemodynamic compromise, it allows the provider to determine the timing, approach, and method of pericardial drainage due to cardiac tamponade being a very rare complication that requires an invasive approach.
