Forty-six patients with Behcet's disease were studied. Of those, 37 were Saudi and 9 were non-Saudi Arabs. Maleto-female ratio was 4.1:1. One hundred percent had mouth ulcers, 91% genital ulcers, 65% ocular involvement, 61% skin lesions, 59% joint involvement (nonerosive), 35% central nervous system manifestations, 26% gastrointestinal involvement, 26% vascular lesions, 11% psychiatric problems, and 11% pulmonary involvement. Only one patient had renal involvement which was documented by biopsy. In 72% of the patients, HLA-B5(51) was positive.

A 39-year-old man who was known to have Behçet's syndrome suffered an acute posterior-wall myocardial infarction. The infarction occurred 13 years after the onset of the Behçet's disease, which had been marked by recurrent chorioretinitis and thrombosis of the retinal veins of both eyes. Coronary arteriography showed occlusion of the circumflex branch and an aneurysmal fistula between the left main branch and the pulmonary artery. The other coronary vessels were normal. A search for vascular risk factors revealed only cigarette smoking. Under a non-invasive treatment regimen, no complications of the mycoardial infarction were seen. During a 2-year medical follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic and did not show any further signs of Behçet's disease activity.

“…During the 1950s the association of Beh9et's syndrome with neurological disease became recognized (Alema and Magni, 1952;Hermann, 1953;Viane, 1957;Alema and Bignani, 1966), and polymorphous skin manifestations are well known (Marchionini and Muller, 1966;Nazzaro, 1966). Berlin (1960) emphasized the view of Behcet's disease as 'a multiple symptom complex'. The most extensive and numerous recent reports have come from Japan where the disease is remarkably common (Oshima et al, 1962(Oshima et al, , 1963Shimizu, 1970Shimizu, , 1971), yet reported cases of alimentary perforation remain rare.…”
