Abstract
- Behcet's disease is a multisystem disorder presenting with recurrent oral and genital ulcerations as well as ocular involvement. The etiology and pathogenesis of this disease remain obscure; it is considered an autoimmune disease since vasculitis is the main pathologic lesion and circulating autoantibodies to human oral mucous membrane are found in approximately 50 percent of the cases. Vascular lesions with Behcet's disease may include deep venous thrombosis, superficial thrombophlebitis, arterial obstruction, or arterial aneurysms. Although arterial aneurysmal lesions are uncommon in patients with Behcet's disease, they may pose serious, life-threatening therapeutic problems due to the risk of rupture. Here, we report a case of Behcet's disease, involving abdominal aorta with review of literature.
