Multiple Aneurysms in Behcet’s Disease, Revealed by a Pulsatile Crural Mass
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
Aneurysm or pseudoaneurysm is the main vascular complication of Behcet’s disease. Nowadays we have both open and endovascular treatment. We report a case of Behcet’s disease femoral artery false aneurysm combined with a thoracic aortic aneurysm. The patient underwent a surgical repair. And follow up for a second aneurysm repair later. For vasculo-Behcet’s disease, we suggest performing the operation during the stable period. At the same time, glucocorticoids could be used with immunosuppressants preoperatively and postoperatively.
