Recurrent Pulmonary Aneurysms

Abstract: In this report, we describe a male patient who presented with recurrent life-threatening hemoptysis due to the sequential formation of multiple pulmonary aneurysms. Both pulmonary artery coil embolization and right lower lobectomy were performed, with limited success. The patient experienced extensive bilateral femoral DVT extending into the inferior vena cava, with massive hemoptysis, fulfilling the diagnosis of Hughes-Stovin syndrome. A final diagnosis of Behçet disease was made following extensive investiga… Show more

“…14 - 16 Also, extrapulmonary arterial involvement in HSS has been previously reported in the splenic artery, 17 internal iliac artery aneurysm, 18 , 19 and femoral arteries branches. 12 Optic neuritis, 20 as seen, 2 of our patients, and pan-uveitis, 21 have been previously reported in HSS. Overlapping features between HSS and BD have been previously reported in the literature.…”

“…We summarize the current management options of HSS. Table 1 Summary of the Hughes-Stovin syndrome (HSS) case reports sharing some features of the classic triad of Behçet's Disease (BD), e. g., mouth and/or genital ulcers and/or eye inflammation and other cases with HSS lacking any of the classical features of BD Summary of HSS case reports revealing some of the classical features of BD Kechida et al [14] Case 1: aortic aneurysm in a 55-year-old man who initially presented with deep venous thrombosis; the diagnosis of HSS revealing BD was made given the history of recurrent oral and genital ulcers Bennji et al [3] Case 2: multiple pulmonary aneurysms with life-threatening hemoptysis; pulmonary artery coil embolization and right lower lobectomy were performed; extensive bilateral femoral deep vein thrombosis extending into the inferior vena cava, massive hemoptysis. A final diagnosis of BD was made after extensive investigations El Jammal et al [15] Case 3: 19-year-old man with hemoptysis; tongue ulcers; CT angiography revealed femoral vein thrombosis, large threatening aneurysm of a left pulmonary artery segment.…”

“…The current consensus is that HSS results from a vasculitis similar to that in Behçet's disease (BD). Several investigators have suggested that HSS is actually a variant of BD rather than a discrete clinical entity [2][3][4]. However, the link between HSS and BD remains speculative because the etiologies of both disorders are still uncertain.…”

“…More recently, embolization, even with repeated procedures, have been performed, with good immediate and mid-term results (See ►Supplementary Materials 1-3). [13][14][15]22,28,33,37,42 The simultaneous presence of phlebitis and aneurysms makes the subsequent therapeutic path difficult because of the hemorrhagic risk associated with oral anticoagulation. In our case, the association between deep vein thrombosis and the simultaneous presence of a contralateral pulmonary aneurysm was addressed using a cava filter, which thus reduces the risk of DVT embolism and at the same time protects the patient from complications of anticoagulant therapy and aneurysm bleeding.…”
