ABSTRACT
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare systemic febrile disorder of unknown etiology. AOSD is characterized by spiking fever, arthralgia, sore throat, skin rash, and multi-organ involvement but is difficult to diagnose due to the lack of specific clinical features. AOSD is most frequently observed among young adults. We describe the case of an 18-year-old male patient with multiple cerebral infarction who was diagnosed with AOSD based on the clinical features observed during rehabilitation treatment after the diagnosis of ischemic stroke. Clinical symptoms of the patient was controlled with steroid therapy. If cerebral infarction is accompanied by unusual clinical features as non-infectious fever, rash, and arthralgia, AOSD should be considered in young stroke patient.
