Le syndrome de Behçet est une vascularite qui peut s’accompagner de plusieurs atteintes systémiques. Une atteinte rénale peut compliquer cette maladie. Les lésions rénales sont variées, les plus fréquentes sont l’amylose et la néphropathie à IgA. Patient âgé de 33 ans suivi pour un syndrome de Behçet depuis 10 ans et dont le diagnostic a été retenu devant l’association d’une aphtose bipolaire r...

Des atteintes vasculaires graves notamment les anévrysmes des artères pulmonaires peuvent compliquer le syndrome de Behçet. Ces atteintes sont rarement révélatrices entrainant un retard diagnostique. Patient âgé de 32 ans, hospitalisé pour des épisodes récidivants d'hémoptysie de faible abondance. L'interrogatoire a trouvé la notion d'aphtose bipolaire récurrente évoluant depuis deux ans. L'exa...

L’atteinte artérielle est une complication rare au cours de la maladie de Behçet. Elle représente un des modes d’expression de cette pathologie. Nous rapportons une observation d’un jeune homme de 25 ans qui était hospitalisé pour une douleur abdominale intense. L’angioscanner abdominaux a permis de poser le diagnostic d’un anévrisme d’une branche de l’artère mésentérique supérieure. Le patient...

BACKROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate frequency and severity of kidney involvement with some clinical, ultrasonography and color Doppler measurements in patients with Behçet disease. MATERIAL/METHODS This study was including 32 patients with Behçet disease and 32 healthy sex and age-matched control subjects. Patients were divided into two groups as period of disease 0-6 years and 7 ...

Articular involvement was reported to be present in approximately 5-76% of Behçet patients. Therefore, we need a useful non-invasive method to detect articular involvement early in Behçet patients with nonspecific complaints. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of 99mTc-methylene diphosphonate (Tc-99m-MDP) bone scintigraphy in the detection of the articular involvement of Behçet's disease (BD)....

PURPOSE To identify significant fluorescein angiographic (FA) characteristics associated with visual acuity (VA) in Behçet retinal vasculitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Retrospective review of 86 eyes of 48 patients (age: 35.6±10.2 years) with Behçet retinal vasculitis were performed. VA and FA findings as well as correlation between them were assessed. RESULTS The mean initial VA of eyes with ...

Introduction. Sclerosing cholangitis is characterized by an inflammatory and fibrotic lesion of intra- and/or extrahepatic bile ducts. When a causal mechanism of a bile duct lesion is identified, the sclerosing cholangitis is considered secondary. The vasculitis, including the Behçet disease, is cited as a probable cause of the ischemia and the sclerosing cholangitis. No cases of extrahepatic s...

Between 5 and 30% of patients with Behçet's disease will present neurological signs during the course of their illness. In order to evaluate the radiological signs on neuro-behçet disease, we studied consecutive patients in whom the diagnosis of this disease was retained, and who referred from January 2004 to December 2011 to the neurology and internal medicine departments in Mohammed VI univer...

BACKGROUND Improved targeted therapies for rheumatic diseases were developed recently resulting in a better prognosis for affected patients. Nowadays, patients are living longer and with improved quality of life, including fertility potential. These patients are affected by impaired reproductive function and the causes are often multifactorial related to particularities of each disease. This re...
