“…A pathogenetic mechanism is suggested, yet its etiology remains unknown. [5][6][7] Doppler ultrasonography (US) may show carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) associated with atherosclerosis in BD which may partially explain the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality seen in these patients. [8] In addition, carotid artery aneurysms in patients with BD patients have been reported.…”

“…Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has increased sensitivity in establishing the thrombus extension particularly toward the heart. Inferior vena cava thrombosis can be found in up to a third of the patients with BD [3,17]. Budd-Chiari syndrome is a complication resulting from the thrombosis of the retrohepatic portion of the IVC.…”

“…Vascular arterial manifestations of Behçet's disease are observed in 7-29% of patients affected from this disease and arterial lesions represent 15% of all vascular lesions in BD [4,5]. Arterial lesions pose a greater risk and are associated with a large impact on the prognosis due to the severity of complications [6].…”

Patients with Behçet's disease are at risk for multiple vessel-related complications including thromboses, stenoses, occlusions, and aneurysms. Surgical treatment of Angio-Behçet brings numerous challenges due to the peculiarities of the disease process and the high rate of complications. Recurrent vascular episodes are also quite common and Behçet patients require rigorous follow-up. In this review, we focus on the manifestations of Behçet's disease involving the venous system and the systemic arterial vasculitis focusing on the indications, workup, and techniques for surgical treatment. Several case studies from our own experience are presented together with supporting diagnostic imaging and the decision process whether to intervene is discussed. Although open surgery remains a valid option, new endovascular techniques are rapidly advancing and offer excellent results with important decrease in morbidity and mortality even in highly compromised patients.

“…5 In Behcet's disease, arterial involvement is less common than venous involvement, affecting from 1 to 7% of patients. 5,7,8,10,14 Peripheral arterial lesions are observed in 2.6%, according to Shin-Seok Yang et al 5 In 50% of cases, arterial injury and venous lesions are both present concomitantly. 8,14 This is more common among male patients and smokers.…”

Behcet' s disease is form of systemic vasculitis of unknown etiology. One surprising feature is that arterial involvement is less common in this disease than venous forms, accounting for 1 to 7% of patients. In 7 to 30% of cases the vascular symptoms precede the clinical diagnosis of Behcet. We describe the case of a patient with Thromboangiitis Obliterans who was treated with lumbar sympathectomy and an aortobiiliac bypass. Around 1 year later he was diagnosed with Behcet' s disease after presenting with oral ulcers, genital ulcers and scaling lesions on the hands.Keywords: Behcet Syndrome; arteritis; peripheral arterial disease. ResumoA Doença de Behçet é uma vasculite sistêmica de etiologia desconhecida. O inusitado é que o acometimento arterial nesta doença é menos comum que o venoso, correspondendo a 1 a 7% dos pacientes. Já os sintomas vasculares precedem o diagnóstico clínico de Behçet em 7 a 30%. Relatamos o caso de um paciente portador de Tromboangeíte Obliterante que foi submetido a simpatectomia lombar e derivação aorto-bi-ilíaca. Após cerca de um ano, diagnosticou-se Doença de Behçet, devido a quadro clínico de úlceras orais, genitais e lesões descamativas nas mãos.Palavras-chave: Síndrome de Behçet; arterite; doença arterial periférica.
