The role of two-dimensional speckle -tracking echocardiography in a patient with Behçet s disease

Behçet’s disease (BD) is a systemic inflammatory disorder of unknown origin characterized by variable clinical manifestations. Most common forms of clinical presentation are recurrent oral and genital aphthous ulceration, uveitis and erythema nodosum. Cardiac involvement is relatively uncommon and may present in the form of pericarditis, conduction system disturbances, coronary arteritis, intracavitary thrombosis, endomyocardial fibrosis or valvular insufficiency . We reported a case of 24-year-old man with right ventricular thrombus and endomyocardial fibrosis diagnosed with BD during routine echocardiography examination.
