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.
