Abstract :
An eight year old male who was detected to have homozygous M694V mutation in the examinations for recurrent abdominal pain and familial history of Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and who was then diagnosed with Juvenile Ankylosing Spondilitis (JAS) upon examination for hip joint pain was presented. This case was presented to emphasize the importance of high suspicion for JAS in FMF cases with atypical joint findings.
