“…SVC thrombosis in BD can be associated with several symptoms and manifestations, such as iliac vein thrombosis or cardiomyopathy. A case report by Tadeu Ferreira de Paiva Jr. described an SVC syndrome without evidence of thrombosis; the lumen reduction was due to a thickening of the vessel wall, probably caused by inflammatory phenomena [ 4 , 68 , 69 , 70 ]. In another case reported by Harman, an SVC thrombosis was due to extrinsic compression by mediastinal fibrosis [ 71 ].…”

Behcet’s disease (BD) is a chronic systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by underlying chronic vasculitis of both large- and small-caliber vessels. Thoracic involvement in BD can occur with various types of manifestations, which can be detected with contrast-enhanced MSCT scanning. In addition, MR can be useful in diagnosis. Characteristic features are aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries that can cause severe hemoptysis and SVC thrombosis that manifests as SVC syndrome. Other manifestations are aortic and bronchial artery aneurysms, alveolar hemorrhage, pulmonary infarction, and rarely pleural effusion. Achieving the right diagnosis of these manifestations is important for setting the correct therapy and improving the patient’s outcome.

“…Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are utilized for pain control. Anticoagulation is generally commenced in the presence of thrombosis [16][17][18]. Evidence suggests immunosuppression alone might be enough for the treatment of venous thrombosis [19,20].…”

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a multisystem autoimmune vasculitis that manifests as oral and genital ulcers with varying degrees of dermatological and ocular involvement. Aseptic splenic abscesses are a rare entity commonly occurring in autoinflammatory diseases and are rarely associated with BD. Here, we present the case of a 16-year-old male with BD who presented with prolonged fever and constitutional symptoms and was found to have an aseptic splenic abscess. Rapid resolution of the symptoms along with radiological evidence of abscess shrinkage was achieved with corticosteroid therapy.

“…Mucocutaneous, ocular, and gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are its frequent manifestations. The medical literature shows that this disease can manifest as a wide array of signs and symptoms involving several bodily organs and systems, which may include skin, genital, ocular, and neurological, in addition to other systems [1]. This case study brings into light a particular case of ocular involvement, showing right retinal detachment (RD) with a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH), which is a rare manifestation of BD.…”

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a vascular disorder affecting a variety of organ systems. It is an auto-immune disease with inflammatory vasculitis that is systemic in nature, the exact etiology of which is unknown. Obliterative vasculitis, recurrent aphthous ulcers, mucocutaneous manifestations, recurrent genital ulcerations, and intraocular inflammation, especially chronic relapsing uveitis, are the characteristic features of BD. The case report presents a unique manifestation of BD in a 20-year-old Pakistani male who presents with a one-year-old history of viral encephalitis, after which he developed a blurring of vision. On examination, he had recurrent aphthous ulcers, recurrent ulcerations of genitalia, and a history of lesions of the skin. After making the patient undergo a cascade of investigations for evaluating and assessing the various signs and symptoms, a diagnosis of BD with bilateral panuveitis and a full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) in the right eye was established. Immuno-suppressants, steroids, and azathioprine were used as treatment options, following which the state of remission was attained.
