ABSTRACT
El síndrome periódico asociado a la criopirina es una enfermedad rara y probablemente infradiagnosticada. Se presenta con manifestaciones sistémicas, entre ellas oftalmológicas, muy diversas, por lo que su diagnóstico supone un reto para el clínico. Presentamos el caso de una niña de 4 años en la que la identificación de papiledema en el examen oftalmológico constituyó el signo guía para el diagnóstico de síndrome periódico asociado a la criopirina. Pretendemos así concienciar sobre esta enfermedad de graves implicaciones y cuyo diagnóstico precoz resulta esencial para los afectados, para que sea tenido en cuenta con mayor frecuencia como diagnóstico diferencial (AU)
Cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome is a rare and probably underdiagnosed disease. It presents with various systemic manifestations, including ophthalmological, making its diagnosis a challenge for the clinician. We present the case of a 4-year-old girl for which the identification of papilledema in the ophthalmological examination was the key sign for the diagnosis of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndrome. Our aim is to raise awareness of this syndrome with serious implications for affected patients, so that it is taken into account more frequently as a differential diagnosis, allowing an early diagnosis (AU)
