Reports have shown that antitumor necrosis factor alpha (anti-TNF-α) agents including infliximab (IFX) can dramatically suppress the disease activity of refractory vasculo-Behçet disease (vasculo-BD). However, it is completely unknown whether we can discontinue anti-TNF-α agents under clinical remission. A 31-year-old patient with vasculo-BD was initially treated with a high dose of steroid and...

Behçet’s disease is a multi-system, inflammatory disorder with various clinical presentations. Vascular manifestations include arterial and venous thrombosis, aneurysms, and thrombophlebitis. Intra-cardiac mass is a rare presentation and is histologically composed of inflammatory cells, fibrosis, and thrombus. Treatment of vasculo-Behçet’s disease includes immune suppression, with consideration...

Vasculo-Behçet's disease mainly affects the venous system and central or peripheral arteries. It is often difficult to diagnosis this due to the complexity of symptoms and the rarity. A 35-year-old man with refractory inguinal lymphadenitis was admitted to our hospital. He was diagnosed with left femoral arterial pseudoaneurysm by enhanced CT scan of the lower legs, and we performed an emergenc...

We report a case of deep femoral artery (DFA) aneurysm associated with pre-vasculo-Behcet status. A 34-year-old man with a history of recurring oral and genital ulcers was admitted complaining of worsening left thigh pain over the previous 30 days. Computed tomography showed a left DFA aneurysm (60 mm × 70 mm), concomitant aneurysms in the popliteal and carotid arteries, and deep vein thrombosi...

INTRODUCTION Vasculo-Behcet's disease is a subtype of Behcet's disease, characterized by cases in which vascular complications are present and often dominate the clinical features. In this disease, there are four different vascular complications: arterial occlusion, arterial aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm, venous thrombosis, and variceal formation. It is rare that arterial lesions are multiple, but...

large vessel involvement is one of the hallmarks of behcet’s disease (bd) but its prevalence varies widely due to ethnic variation or environmental factors. the aim of this study is to find the characteristics of vasculo-behcet (vb) in iran. in a cohort of 4769 patients with bd, those with vascular involvement were selected. different manifestations of disease were compared with the remaining g...

Le syndrome d'Eagle est une entité radio-clinique caractérisée par une ossification du ligament stylo-hyoïdien qui peut se manifester par des signes cliniques en rapport avec la compression de structures vasculo-nerveuses de voisinage. Nous rapportons un cas de syndrome d'Eagle de découverte fortuite chez une patiente de 62ans, sans antécédent particulier, admise aux urgences pour une fracture ...
