“…It is therefore not true to say that vir tually all patients with neuro-Behcet's syndrome have aseptic meningitis with or without other neurological abnormalities [13]. It is worth noting that low CSF pro tein content, commonly seen in patients with pseudotu mour cerebri, was not seen in any of our patients [14]. The visual acuity was good in all 6 patients at the end of the follow-up.…”

Neurological Presentation of Neuro-Behçet’s Syndrome: Clinical Categories

et al. 1990

In an attempt to categorise the diverse neurological manifestations of Behçet’s syndrome, a group of 10 patients was prospectively studied; the diagnosis of Behpet’s syndrome was not known in any of them prior to their neurological presentation. A reasonably clear distinction can be made to divide the manifestations into three general categories with some overlap. Category I includes patients with increased intracranial pressure with or without cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Category II are those presenting with a stroke. Category III are those patients who present with spinal cord involvement and CSF pleocytosis. Brainstem involvement was noted independently of the group. In general, patients with Neuro-Behçet’s syndrome showed little ocular involvement. The course of the illness both in morbidity and mortality tended to be better in category I, and mortality was only seen in category II patients. In populations susceptible to the disease, the clinical categorisation proposed may alert the clinician to the possibility of neuro-Behçet’s syndrome whenever patients with pseudotumour cerebri, dural sinus thrombosis, stroke in the young, unexplained myelitis or possible multiple sclerosis are encountered.

“…Additional involvement of other organs, including the gastrointestinal tract, has been reported since the original description of Behget in 1937 [1]. The incidence of gastrointestinal involvement has been reported in 10-40% of cases [2][3][4][5], and detection of the lesion is important because of the high incidence of hemorrhage and perforation which sometimes need surgical treatment [6][7][8][9][10].…”

Colitis in Behçet's disease: Characteristics on double-contrast barium enema examination in 20 patients

et al. 1994

We performed a retrospective review of double-contrast barium enema examinations of 20 patients with clinically proven Behçet's colitis. Main lesion was ovoid or geographic ulcers with a mean diameter of 2.7 cm. The number of ulcers was single in 15 cases and multiple in five. On six resected specimens, ulcers involved submucosa in three, muscle layer in one, and serosa in two cases with an undermining tendency and transmural inflammation. Aphthous ulcers were present in three cases. Neither perforation nor fistula was demonstrated. In all 20 patients, the ulcer was localized in the ileocecal area, with extension to the ascending colon in seven. Skip lesions were observed in the transverse colon and descending colon in three cases. Destruction of surrounding mucosa resulted in cecal contraction in 19 cases, widening of the ileocecal valve in 19, and fold thickening in the terminal ileum in 12. Six cases (30%) manifested as ileocecal mass accompanied by ulcer, fold thickening, and adjacent mucosal deformity. The appendix was visualized in only three (20%) of the 15 patients with no history of appendectomy. On follow-up study of 15 cases, the ulcers disappeared or decreased in size in 13 cases (86%) and the mucosal deformity was not improved in all cases. On the basis of our results, we believe that the characteristic findings of colitis in Behçet's disease in barium enema examination are ovoid or geographic, relatively large, and deep ulcerations with persistent surrounding deformity which tend to localize in the ileocecal area.

“…In the available literature [5,[8][9][10][11], we found only one case of SMA aneurysm due to BD reported by Hills [8]. Another reported case by Parker et al [2] showed occlusion of SMA due to BD. Our case of SMA aneurysm is herein presented to acquaint radiologists with rare vascular complications of BD.…”

“…It is now considered to be a systemic process of unknown etiology and protean clinical manifestations, including involvement of the mucocutaneous, ocular, articular, neurologic, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, and respiratory systems [2]. Cardiovascular involvement can include both arteries and veins, with lesions ranging from arterial occlusions and aneurysms to superficial thrombophlebitis and occlusion of superior or inferior vena cava [3].…”

Superior mesenteric artery aneurysm in Behçet's disease

et al. 1994

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Behçet's disease is a multisystem disorder characterized by recurrent orogenital ulcerations and uveitis. Vascular involvement can include both arteries and veins, with a preponderance of venous lesions. Aneurysms of splanchnic arteries due to Behçet's disease have been rarely reported. We present an unusual case of superior mesenteric artery aneurysm due to Behçet's disease diagnosed by ultrasonography and angiography.
