“…Venous occlusion is most frequently seen at the level of superior vena cava. 35 In the current study, the serum MDA level was found to be significantly increased in patients with BD than healthy controls. This result may indicate an active role of ROS in the pathogenesis of BD.…”

“…Similarly, Hughes-stovin syndrome (HSS), a close differential of BD with consistent radiologic and histopathologic finding was unlikely as our patient had both oral and genital ulcer which are usually absent in HSS [13]. Patient could have been managed as smear negative tuberculosis in a high burden country but for the rapid and sensitive diagnostic test of Xpert MTB/RIF test which was also negative.…”

Behcet's disease (BD) is a rare condition in sub-Saharan Africa. It often manifests as recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulcers with ocular features and infrequently involving major systems like pulmonary vasculature and parenchyma. Pulmonary involvement in BD, although rare, can manifest as pulmonary artery aneurysm, vascular thrombosis, pulmonary infarction, pneumonia and pleurisy.Our index case is a 38 year old Nigerian who presented with recurrent orogenital ulcer, hemoptysis and uveitis. He had a contrast enhanced chest CT scan that revealed pulmonary artery aneurysm. His symptoms resolved following commencement of immunosuppressant and steroid.Increased awareness is required for early detection of BD especially in regions where it is regarded as rare. Furthermore, multidisciplinary approach in its management is vital to reduce morbidity and mortality.

“…4) Vascular system involvement is significantly more common in men than women, seen in approximately 25%-30% of patients and is the most common cause of mortality. 5) Vascular lesions are classified into three types: arterial occlusions, arterial aneurysms, and venous thromboses. The most common manifestation of vascular involvement in Behcet's disease is Venous thrombosis.…”
