Abstract:
Vascular involvement in Behçet’s disease is divided into venous and arterial thrombosis and arterial aneurismal formation. Multiple arterial aneurysms rarely occur in Behçet’s disease; however, when they do occur, they cause so me complex signs and symptoms related to the location of arterial involvement. We descri be a 22-year-old male with Behçet’s disease and multiple arterial aneurysms in the main arterial branches of the neck, such as left and right subclavian aneurysms, innominate and left caro tid bifurcation arterial aneurysms, together with right vertebral and left subclavian artery occlusions. This case shows that multiple arterial involvem ents should be considered as one of the possible manifestations of Behçet’s disease.
